How does funneling work?

Hey guys I have two sites under one domain, let's call them /blog and /mailinglist and I want to track the people that go to my /blog first and then /mailinglist second.

The important part is where they're coming from. What is the source of my traffic going to my /blog first?

Does funneling do this? Like at step one, I see on the visualization that say 50% went to my /mailinglist, can I do a "reverse goal path" and see where they came from?

I'm looking up funnel tutorials and they all teach how to set it up, which is fine, but I don't see the results or how to analyze it correctly.

Thanks!

Basically, the goal funnel is setting up multiple URL’s as a goal. For example, if you have a shopping cart on your site and a buyer has to go through five different pages to checkout, then you’d setup a goal funnel with those URLs in the order they would be in the process, such as:
Step 1 – Shopping Cart
Step 2 – Login or Register
Step 3 – Enter or Confirm Address
Step 4 – Enter Payment Info
Step 5 – Confirm Order and Submit
What this will do is show you if people are dropping the process at a certain point and maybe help you do some testing to see what would make conversions better, such as changing something on the Payment Info page if that is the one people are bailing out on.
I hope this helps!

hi,
Text links in your body copy should link to supporting pages relevant to the content of the respective, or one step closer in the conversion funnel. Visitors who are interested in the page often use these first text links to travel further into the site. Ensure that these links direct traffic closer to your goal not further into other areas of the site.

 

Well, you can accomplish this said task by creating a goal and placing its value in your Google analytic account. There step by step you can declare your funnel and make most out of them.
