Thank you for this excellent Analytics post. Very accessible, you’ve made a difficult-sounding concept easy to grasp and implement. New GA layout means some of the specific directions are out of date, but the basic steps are all still there.

I am using a WordPress site and have got a button hard coded for donations in the side bar. The donations button goes to an external site. I have managed to track that as an event but cannot get the event to work as a goal. Any idea how to make this happen? Cheers.

naomi i did not understand this point:

If you want to track sales, you can additionally input the value of your average sale too (win!).

How can i do that?

It is important for my website to know that.

Thanks

Yeah, I have some custom anayltics script that doesn’t work with that thesis “option”. I’ve had some trouble trying to get it to work properly. Is there anyway for me to add the script without using Thesis’ built in option?

I just want to try a different approach to see if I can get it to work.

Thank you so much for this post! I did a search on Google to try to figure out how to incorporate the mailchimp tracking in my campaigns and found your post.

I don’t know why mailchimp doesn’t explain things better but you certainly cleared it up. From what I’ve read on your post, it made me understand how to include the tracking in the campaigns. Thank you again!

Thanks for this great how-to Naomi! Everywhere you turn people are telling you to track conversion, but very few offer such a straight-forward explanation of how to do it. Many thanks!
