I am having a problem getting Analytics to list my conversion URL. Because I use a hosted shopping cart, the checkout URLs are on another domain name and I have very little control.

The only thing I could think of was to add an anchor to my order receipt page and then do a javascript redirect so my order receipt URL has “#my_anchor” on the end. I then use a regular expression to match this text.

However – when I look in the Top Content, I can not find my anchor text anywhere in Analytics (and it is not because there are too many URLs and I’m just not finding it).

Any suggestions? Is there a better way to track Goal conversions in Google Analytics?

However my analytics conversion goals were zero even if i know that i’ve made tests just to increase the conversion goals sl as to see results in GA.

here’s one of the code i implemented:

http://www.example.com/“>

and my regular expression in GA is:
/image/clicks/

Not sure if my regular expression is the right one to use..

Can anyone give me some advice on this, cause am struggling to the the figures right.

Thanks

i want to test my analytics code on it…preferably real time…

how do i do it?

Then instead of the plus and minus icon from the old interface, you use the dropdown box to specify ‘containing’ or ‘excluding’.

One question. Why wouldnt you use regular expression not head match. ie paste http://www.wotever.com/orderthankyou.asp

–

Head match is easier and recommended for simple goal setups, but sometimes sites have more complex needs. For example, a site that sells 6 products and has a contact form for each product, may want to track those form submissions. Since we only have 4 goals, we can set up one of them to track any of the 6 form submissions, as long as the forms have a similar path/file so w can match it with a regular expression.
