Is it possible to differentiate between organic results and other in "Goals"?

    Hello everybody

    I hope there is someone out there who can help me with my question. I need to see which kind of users complete my goals I set up in Analytics. I want to see which of the users complete from organic search results and which come from adwords. Is it at all possible?

    Hi, you could do that with custom reports.
    Create a new custom report. Choose Goals from metrics, and Source/Medium from dimension. then create the report. Now you can find out the no of goals achieved through organic traffic and through others.

    I'm not very familiar with reports in analytics. Would the report show the future goals or the goals already completed?

    For all it's power, tracking conversions and associated metrics (i.e., what's leading to conversions) is definitely a weakness of GA. There are some other tools our there that track conversions (and their sources, etc) much better. But if you're determined to use GA and want to see the custom reports, you can do this...

    On the left side of the dashboard you'll see an area called "My Customizations". Under that heading, you'll see Custom Reports. Click on that.
    Then click the Create New Custom Report link - here you'll be able to create your custom report. There's too much to write in this post, so what I would do is click the Learn More link you'll see on the left side and that will walk you through what you need to do.

    It's not a great solution, but if you're willing to put in the time, it can work for you. Or you can try other options, like Spring Metrics (shameless plug, sorry....couldn't resist). :)

    Good luck.

    yes, when you set the goal, you can get the information at your customers' report by exoert them to analyze the report. like how many people to register, where they come, which keyword....
