Want to set up many goals in GA
-
Hi there,
I have been reading about setting up goals in Google Analytics.
There is a 20 goal limit, but I have many goals that I want to track (basically I have many thank-you pages that I would like to track).
What is the best way to go about setting up more than 20 goals?
Thanks

The Logic of Google may just be power I wouldn't know, setting up more goals makes it a tad harder for reporting which isn't super
To set up a conversion in Moz you would need to do it in GA . I suppose you could add the thank you pages in Moz's landing page with the assumption that the only way to get to them is via the landing pages but i wouldn't be sure of the accuracy of this.
You can try event tracking which involves you putting a bit of code on all the pages you want to track but to be honest I don't have any experience with this you can read about it here

Thanks so much for your input.
Is there any logic to having a limit on goals one can set?
Would it be possible to track conversions and set up goals in Moz?
-
Best bet then would be to create more tracking under the same property and just set up more goals, you can also look into setting up a goal that tracks pages in the URL that have thankyou etc. in but I always found this tricky
-
As I see, that would not work for me I think. My thank you pages contain unique content. Some pages offer you an on-demand video, others will offer a whitepaper of case study.
So that would probably not work.

I more meant have one thank you pages (that multiple landing pages direct to) and track that, you should be able to reverse goal check for landing pages, you could also set up a goal for thank you pages but i tend to find it a bit harder. Obviously this is just my opinion but I think it will save you some time and loads of goals whilst achieving the same result

Thanks very much.
Would it make sense to create 1 goal that tracks several "thank you" pages?

"Goals are limited to 20 per reporting view. To track more than 20 Goals, create an additional view for that property, or edit an existing Goal you don't need anymore."
what it basically means is create another property for the same website and use more, you may want to look into how you're tracking the goals though e.g. you can track things to the same landing page and then look at a reverse goal path to work out which landing page the user used to get to that goal thus you don't need to have as many goals.

When migrating to https should you unlink the verified http version from my GA account?
Hi We had a new site design at the end of April and at the same time changed to https. Over the last 6 months, according to our analytics account the traffic has dramatically dropped especially from mobile. We were at 3607 new visitors from mobile in April and now 32! in September. Technically (other than page speed and some meta issues that I'm aware of) there doesn't initially appear to be anything wrong. I have just been into search console and notice that the old http site still has the GA code on it, could it be that this is why the data is showing such a massive drop? Should we have taken that off when we migrated the site? The same analytics account is also on the new site. Thanks in advance Janine

Google Analytics goals by source report?
Hello everybody. Is there way in Google analytics to create report on what goals have been completed per each source? Example: Lets say I have 3 goals: Subscription, Purchase, Quote. How can I get report, saying something like this: google / organic - Subscription - 5 conversions
Reporting & Analytics | | DmitriiK
Purchase - 3 conversions
Quote - 10 conversions and so on. P.S. Basically, I want the reverse of standard Google Analytics goal completions report, where you can click on goal and see which sources/mediums completions came from. I'd like to do the opposite - "click" on source/medium and see which goals have been completed. Thanks0 -
How to interpret search "clicks" in GA?
I am trying to make some sense of the data in the "Landing Pages" report under "Search Engine Optimization" in GA versus the data under the "Landing Pages" report in "Behavior | Site Content". For example, the SEO report says my page http://www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/bangkok-skytrain-bts-mrt-lines/ received 22,000 search impressions in the past 30 days and 900 "clicks" (12.42%). What are these "clicks" when the Content "Landing Pages" report says the same page only got 382 "sessions" in the same period??? What are these "clicks" if not clicks on the search results link that should be reflected in landing page sessions on the corresponding page?
