Default Google Analytics Help

I was trying to set up the goal conversions in G analytics, but not sure if this can be done since there isn't really a success page or thank you page after an IDX form is filled out. Have you come accross this before and is there a way to make it work?

Thanks!

Put the last step as your IDX registration page. It should be a page similar to this regardless of whether you force registration or not:

I did this on my site, but the Point2Agent analytics script clashed with Google Analytics (it is an older version of G Analytics). I think it will work, but the Point2 version has no conversion funnel and the G version won't work with the Point2 version and the Point2 version can't be cut off. Try it and let me know if it works.

Hi Joshua,

Yes - I have done this before ... there is a "success" page but we redirect off it so quickly that it is not noticed. What we have to do is slow down that redirect and then add the GA code onto that success page. Seems to work quite well. It's a 15 min programming task.

Thank you,

You presumably (If using mid registration) could just put the javascript code on the details page only, seeing as you much be registered before looking at the details of a property - Aaron please confirm (Also a 15 min task I think)

Perhaps a page like this after someone registers?

Yeah ... you could do that also. Wouldn't be any more or less time to implement.

John that thank you page must be something we did custom for you. The Standard IDX does not come with that page ... Do you find that it helps? I'm curious as to why you would want the users to end up on a page like that.

yes Aaron, you guys did it as a custom page.
I did this to be able to better gauge the goal conversions on my site - the original idx/register page, does not work because sometimes people click off that page so I wanted a page similar to a "check-out" to better quantify goal conversions. I am not sure if it always works correctly. The idea was to just have this page once after registering, the searcher would click on continue and go directly to their search and not see it again.

Ah .. Makes sense This way you can see how many people landed on that page from your stats ... I thought there was some special Javascript code that can be used to place on those types of pages ... but I may be thinking of Pay Per click tracking.

Thank you,
What about the contact us page for instance? Does this form follow the same procedure, because I noticed that when that form is filled out, it stays on the same page after submit is hit and a green box pops up above the form that says "thanks"?
