Setting up goals in Google Analytics

[cclayton]

Hi Everyone!

I am trying to measure how many users I am sending to the merchant as I am wanting to know what pages they are being sent through to the users from. Now I thought I could do this in Google Analytics by the goals settting but I am obviously doing something wrong.

In order for users to be passed to the merchant they go from a url similar to http://www.thisismyapage.com/redirec...surlforexample

now I have added google analytics code to the redirect.php page and have setup the goals as redirect.php but still there is no results... am I totally off the chart here?! Thanks!

That's how I do it and it works fine, don't know whether this will help but I use Head Match and include the forward slash like /redirect.php

Thanks Dave... what should "Goal value (optional):" be?

Mine's set to 1, which is £1, not sure if this makes any difference though.

One thing I just thought of, your redirect page needs to be a meta redirect if it's not already, I've got a delay of 1 second which seems to give the GA javascript enough time to load.
