    Tracking Goals not working

    Long ago I setup Google Analytics with 100 as the goal, to track how many paid google visits actually register. Its been "1" since March :(, yet I know I get at least 80 visitors from Google a day (paid, unique) and at least 5-10 register each day.

    I setup a conversion goal as explained for my profile (talkjesus.com) and the URL is

    /google-funnel/registration-complete.html

    Active Goal: On


    Where does the tracking code go? What template in vbulletin 3.6.8???

    I already added the "UA-....." piece in my vbseo admin panel.



    The receiving data part shows a green check "ok", so that is good at least.


    Maybe I'm mis-understanding the conversion goal when viewing my analytics main page.

    For my talkjesus.com profile it shows

    Receiving Data
    Conversion Goals (1)


    I guess the "1" is for HOW MANY goals are set?

    I want to track actual numbers of registrations that come from paid google visits (adwords). In adwords, it shows 0 conversion since day one which is not right at all.

    I registered on my site and the final page (that states an email has been sent to activate...) is this link:

    The URL shown in the URL bar of your browser isn't used. The "URLs" that you set up for tracking are just virtual URLs that are included in the code of each page, if you enable that option in your vBSEO Control Panel.

    The settings you have in Google appear correct. Did you confirm that you enabled the option in vBSEO?

    EDIT: After looking again, your first page when registering is the birthday page. If you view source there, at the bottom you will see the virtual URL. That should be the first URL defined in your Analytics config, not the COPPA one you have now.

    Is this right?

    Also, I don't use COPPA.

    On a side note, where will I find the actual number of registered google paid visits? I thought I'm supposed to use the actual adwords tracking code? If so, what template would I place that in?
