    I am trying to set up a conversion goal tracker at the "Thank You" screen just after a customer completes an order on our site. As it stands, Google asks that you submit the URL for said page so that it can monitor who makes it there with their cookie. However, our site has the customer's specific order number built into the URL, which means that every "Thank You" page is in essence unique and different from one another. How can I get around this and properly track my conversions?

    NOTE: the same URL discrepency occurs durring the funneling process, but I'd imaging solving one would solve the other.

    You place the conversion code in the Thank You page.

    You don't need to submit the URL to Google.

    Where do I obtain the unique code for a coversion? How will it differ from other conversion codes I have placed in different parts of my site; will/does Google know the difference when/if it reports to Analytics?

    NM. The link below explains how to solve this problem as well as those associated with identical URLs over several steps in, say, a checkout process.

    you can use regular expressions

    so if your thank you url with querys is: www.domain.com/thankyou.html?query=username123

    then your goal should be:

    /thankyou\.html.*?

    or

    /thankyou\.html.+?
    if its not possible to not have a query
    (the first one should work for either case)

    I have strange issue with my website Conversion rate. Google analytics is showing total conversion of 14 per day for a particular day. But when ever i check conversion manually from my website conversion statistic, its showing somehow total 4 conversions rather then 14 conversion. So how to correct Google analytics to showing exactly conversion rate?
