    As long as the code is on the EZ Page, it should track the TRAFFIC.

    As far as Goals go:

    You can ONLY track Goals if you have set those up within your Google Analytics account. This is something that is a part of Google Analytics, but can NOT be installed by a script tag. It must be setup from within your Google Analytics account in order to work.

    If those are in place and the tracking code is in place (which it is) then you should see Goal conversions.

    I just double checked and the below page does has the GA code (did a veiw source).

    I have the below as my goals within GA:

    http://www.pastgenerationtoys.com/in...id=5&chapter=0

    I have hit that link from mutiple machines and the goal, like all my goals, stays at 0. I can post a screen shot if that helps. Thanks! PGT

    Two questions:

    1) Did you setup any funnel to that goal? If so, it may not be recording due to those settings.

    2) Why would you want to track that particular EZ page as a goal? Just wondering. Goals are usually used to track "event actions" on a site that relate to some type of conversion occurring.

    Does a visitor arriving at that page mean something toward the sales aspect of the site?

    Again, just trying to figure out why you want to track goals for that if it doesn't relate to sales? No harm meant in it, just asking. :)

    Fair question - no harm taken.

    I have no funnels set. I set the goals to the EZ pages for two reasons:

    1) Main reason - It was a test to see if goals work.

    2) Since my URLs are not easily translated to what's on the page this was meant to be an easy way to see if people were visting those pages. I would love to know if they are worth the time it takes to build them as I would build more like the "toy commercial" page. That page in particular is in the "works" to bring in sales by showing the toy commercial and has links to buy that toy seen in the commercial.

    But... goals always stay at 0.
