Simple Google Analytics - Support

[CreepyD]

I posted a thread, but I now see this thread!
Simple problem, hopefully a simple fix.

My website is not passing the session information to Paypal, so when they return to the site to complete the sale google analytics shows every sale as [mysite].co.uk instead of the actual traffic source. The traffic source does show up correct in other areas of analytics, just not for purchases.
In Paypal I have added utm_nooverride=1 to the return page in Paypal's settings - That's suppose to pass the session back from Paypal to my site.
So my guess is that it's still not working as my site is not passing the info to Paypal.

I assume I have to add something in my google_analytics.co.uk to do that?

If I understand you correctly, you'll need to capture the info passed via PayPal (in the query string) and add that to GA.

If you can pull this off, the best way of doing this is to send a a variable that Google Already tracks back in your pass back query string.

Try using the Google URL builder to get the proper parameter in there.
