Google Analytics Goal - Track Click Through to Any Page on Site

[brianspatterson]

Hey,

I need help with a Google Analytics Goal tracking problem.  I have a client looking to track when an Adwords users clicks through to any page on the site after hitting the Adwords landing page.

I'm guessing this can be done with a goal funnel and a regex but I'm not sure about what it should be.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Here's a start. This is an advanced segment that will provide you with "show me all visits from "cpc" that are more than one pageview (non-bounce)." As I understand the question, this matches,with the exception that it's not exactly a goal. However the # visits should represent the goal #/count. Figuring out how to  make this into a goal now.

second option is to use event tracking on your links on the landing page (use case dependent, I know).

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'AdWords Conversion', 'Success', '/link-to-page-path']); (this is just an example)

From here, set up your goal based on this event which was recently added to Google Analytics.

I use this method with great success for a technology manufacturer website for tracking external clickthroughs to retail partner websites to track the dollar volume sales opportunity the manufacturer's website is driving to it's retail partners for online purchase.

Do you mean tacking Adwords visits that go to another page, and then convert? If you just want to see what your adwords visitors are doing once they hit the landing page, just use Visitor flow and select AD Group in the drop down. It will tell yo where they land, where they go, and where they exit.  Hope this helps..

easier way to do the same thing Jared. Thank you! Need to spend more time on visitor flow. Still doesn't answer how to track that as goal though.

Exactly - as a goal presents multiple difficulties. Im not sure if theres a quick answer to that one but Id like to know!
