Simple Google Analytics - Support

[econcepts]

The new simple GA does support Universal tracking as well as a number of other items relating to PPC. You'll need to get a direct copy from me at the moment (PM me) as the 'pretty package' package is being completed.

I see that Google began collecting data and is displaying some stats. However, my site has made a couple of sales but Google Analytics has not recorded these as conversions.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Simple Google Analytics doesn't support this.
Try Easy Google Analytics.

It's a fork of Simple Google Analytics with an automatic upgrade script to go from simple google analytics to easy google analytics

What version are you using? Keep in mind that conversions are "conversions from PPC" (paid search.)

If you are running PPC and not getting conversions, it could be that the sales you got came from Organic sources and not PPC (which would only track if the visitor first clicks an ad then converts.)

Let me know if that helps.

Actually Simple Google Analytics fully supports this from the first version. Read the above comment to find out why the tracking may be thought to be off for conversions.

The Easy Google Analytics mod definitely has major issues with tracking conversion due to the way it is setup. I've heard this from a lot of others, and in my testing found the same to be true.

The Simple GA tracking is the only accurate solution to date that I am aware of and is being used in over 7,000 stores at the moment with no issues.

Hope that helps!

There was an older version that did have a bug that Numinix fixed.

Hi Eric,

I'm trying to get Adwords conversion tracking working with ZC 1.3.9h and SGA Plugin 1.2.4. We only use PayPal for our payment method, I think this may require placing code on the auto return URL after PayPal payment. (https://myZCdomain.com/webstore/inde...eckout_process) I may be able to figure it out but thought I would ask before melting my brain too bad... Thanks --Ron

Hi Ron!

Follow the normal directions on install and it should work just fine. The module auto inserts the proper code onto the right pages (you are using an older version of the module and eventually should update, but that still works just fine ... I know a lot of people still using that version.)

Once you install the module just turn on conversion tracking from the admin. Regardless of whether you use PayPal and / or another payment method, it should work just fine. If you need help verifying it is correct, just let me know and I'll take a look for you.

Hello,
I am trying to install your plugin/module and I am having some issues. When I paste the required code at the bottom of my tpl_main_page.php, it is removing my closing body and html tags, as if there is an error that is occurring. Has any one else experienced this? Help?!

Thanks!
Lisa

Paste the code into the file just before the </body> tag. Do not remove any existing code or tags.

I've seen this happen when users in accidentally alter the code they paste (the snippet that goes into the main page tpl file).

Make sure that you have not removed any php tags in the inserted code and / or have not accidentally removed any syntax within that either.

If you need me to take a look to debug just let me know and I'd be happy to.
