Can I track if someone filled out a form on my website even if i the Google ad sends them to my homepage and the form is on another page? Is there any way to know if a form was filled out by a clicked Google ad? Please help. Thanks.
You could try a program like Statcounter that can keep track of movement from page to page but it is messy.
well there is an easy way. prepare seperate analytics script for the form page and track it seperately. OR use analytics in the page that send queries to your email. ( I suggest using an email program script to send all queries , when some one fills a form in your web page. now go to your analytics page in google analytics. it shows the page with query data appended. thatw ay you can track unique queries apart from just clicks. ) what do you think?
I may be missing something here... but what I do is use Google Conversion Tracking and just put the google provided snippet of code into a "Thank you" page. Google tracks a conversion everytime someone gets to the "Thank you" page which only happens after a form submission.
The easy way is to put Google conversion code on the Thank You page (The page comes after the Sign up form). So if someone reaches that page through Google Ad words, it will show as one conversion...
Brian - I 100% agree with greenbaret and justOUT. You must use conversion tracking. I have a article written on my site on how to install adwords conversion tracking Hope that helps.
