Google Analytics Ecommerce Tracing Problem in V8.

Goal conversions

Hi, I'm nearly there with GA v8 now - thanks to all however I am not getting Goal 1 conversions showing (although the transactions show in GA and record against keywords etc.) I think it may be due to this bit

urchinTracker("/sale/receipt.html");

In V7 it didn't have the /sale bit in - therefore should I change my goal 1 funnel url to be above as it is still currently /receipt

I'm not sure I've made this very clear but any help would be apprecaited.

Many thanks

Donna

Hi Donna,
I'm still struggling with this, so can be of no help to you but was hoping you could help me.

Which layout did you end up using for the checkout pages?

Cheers,
Megan

Hi Megan

We use Executive and in the end I didn't change the inneer outer layout set up n the end. I placed all the code from the above post in the inner layout. The main thing I hadn't done (which I think is why my goals weren't working properly) was put the tracking code (as shown in Daves guide) in the head tag on the home page and the catalogue pages. All is now working fine and tracking visits and G1 vists and everything.

We had had it working on our V7 site before - if you haven't it might be worth read Dave's thread on V7 as this gives a full step by step guide to each element in the process.

If you need anything else I'll try and help you best I can.

Good luck

Netqutevars?

Greetings

Has anyone else actually got fat of the lands code to work?

I have got through the first stage and google is picking up that i have tracking but, the info is wrong.

My question is the code uses NETQOUTEVARS, but V8 doesn't recognise or use netquotevars. Could this be why my info is garbled?

Thanks

Code In The Wrong Place

Another question to everyone is do you think this code is in the right place?

<actinic:variable name="INNERLAYOUT" /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script><script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "******";
urchinTracker("/sale/receipt.html");
</script><form style="display:none" name="utmform"><textarea id="utmtrans"></textarea></form><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var realprice = NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL / 100;
var line1 = 'UTM:T|NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER|affiliation|' + realprice + '|tax|shipping|city|state|NETQUOTEVAR:INVOICECOUNTRY';
var line2 = 'UTM:I|NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER|NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE|NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME|category|price|quantity';
document.getElementById('utmtrans').value = line1 + '\n' + line2;
//-->
</script>

We are picking up tracking but it seems to be multiplying everything unproportunately to our orders that are coming through.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks
Shannon

If you follow the code and put it in the inner layout and then read Dave's guide and combine the section on putting the tags in the head etc all should work fine. I needed to amend our goal receipt as well to

urchinTracker("/sale/receipt.html"); and all worked fine. You need to make sure you've connected your ads etc. correctly within ad words as well otherwise it all goes a bit wonky!

Good Luck

Yes - the codes in fat of the lands post are for V7 and will not work with V8
