    I added my whole domain path. Im sure google is clever enough to do both:)

    It will always find a conversion. The only problem we have is there is no way of telling what payment type was used without changing the script.

    So the goal value is just a rough estimate. So long as we know the sources of the conversions I dont mind.

    Thanks for clearing up that mike.

    I have just setup the system according to your instructions, for normal payments and coupon mode payments. Lets wait for someone to test it, I mean for some conversions to happen and 24 hrs. ;)

    People never realise that analytics updates all day. Just go onto the calendar and view todays data. You can see live stats that way, rather than waiting for the next day.

    This is a very good find but the problem with analytics is it will not detect some visitors...

    Anyway it's a very good cost less mod..

    Yeah I know. Visitors who turn javascript off will not be detected. Thats googles issue not ours.

    It's not you who tracks submissions or whatever with Analytics.
    This is THEM who track your website or whole your network. Same with G. sitemaps.
    So if once your site go to sandbox, ban or filter don't be surprised.
