3Sigma:
econcepts,
I am using the simple google analytics mod for about 3 months. it installed great. I am getting data for all but one very important page:
/index.php?main_page=checkout_success
This page does not get picked up in a content report or as a goal when a sale occurs. So everything works great except the one feature I would really like, conversion tracking.
I have entered it in as a head match goal with this in the input:
/index.php?main_page=checkout_success
I am running zen cart 1.3.8a and also have Fast Easy Checkout mod installed from numinix. Would these two mods conflict? I am also doing AIM CC processing on site with Authorize.net.
Also, the code looks slightly different between what google wants and what displays on my site:
Google Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxx-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
shows on my page:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxxx-1");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
Any Thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

Your setup looks correct.
Two things for you to check.
- Are you running any paid search campaigns (adwords etc..)?
If not, that's the problem. Conversion tracking as I have it there is for tracking Paid Search (PPC) conversion on the checkout success page. If you are not running paid search or have not got a sale from that then your conversions will be "0".
-
if you are running PPC campaigns and you do have conversion tracking turned on (both in the zen cart admin and within google Analytics) then you need to make sure your Conversion Tracking ID for PPC is correct (this is a totally different number than your Google Analytics Tracking ID).
-
If you are talking about "ecommerce tracking" (conversions) on the thank you (checkout success page), this come built in with my module by default (nothing to change on the admin side of zen cart).
If you are not seeing any "ecommerce conversions" in your Google Analytics then you need to check to make sure you havee told Google Anlaytics that you are an "ecommerce site" by turning that on (again, done from within your Google Analytics profile page ... not from within Zen Cart.)
There is not conflict with the FEC module and my mod works just fine with it so that is not the issue (I'm using that mod with my tracking on a number of sites without a problem.)
The key here is to make sure you are talking about the proper "conversion tracking" figure.
If you are talking about "conversion tracking" as it relates to paid search (which is activated from within the Zen Cart admin by saying "yes" to conversion tracking) then you MUST be running a paid search campaign for it to work and the paid search tracking id number (different from your Google Analytics tracking ID number) must be plugged into the proper location in your zen cart admin.
If however you are talking about tracking "ecommerce conversions" then you need to make sure you told Google you are an "ecommerce site" from within your profile. My mod handles the rest.
