This is one useful technique for tracking a goal. This way Google will help us to track a goal even if that doesn't have a page to record a visit. Thanks for this valuable post.

Very useful article. I am just getting started with setting up an AdWords campaign and will certainly use this information (especially the goal tracking!) to analyze results and increase conversions. Thank you!

Thanks for a great article Jon! I have just recently begun using Analytics “properly” and find that your article explains conversion tracking in a very clear way. You are absolutely right about setting up goals. I have been using Alaytics for a few weeks but without measuring the effectiveness of my campaigns. The tool is much more useful when understood in the proper context. Thanks again!

Thanks For The Info Jon!
Really the visit was rewarding. Articles like this kind snap us out of a ‘don’t know what to do situations’. Setting up the analytics tool and codes befitting to our goal measurements counts a lot in your strategy processing. Impeccable tracking system is the lifeblood of your SEO and PPC campaigns.

A great piece of information Jon. I often found sites embedding a js code along with the Google Analytics code, now I know what the code meant and its importance on data tracking. Building a sales funnel incorporated website will have a good impact only if the results were measured accurately.

Nice writeup Jon. I guess the major point about measuring conversions in Google Analytics vs Google Adwords is that through Analytics its not PPC specific. Plus you can get an amazing depth of knowledge that way further reaching such as where your conversions are coming from, which regions, times, and which pages. Alot of good info in there. Its just important to make sure its setup properly!

Jon thanks for sharing it here. This is a new piece of information to me. Sometimes virtual pages embed the most important conversion goal and may not be tracked. This results in wrong analytics data and that can create a serious dent in your entire marketing campaign strategy. For managing campaigns perfectly every time accurate goal measuring system is essential.
