i do track sales on Google analytics as Goals... is there anyway to to track each visitors behaviour before doing the purchase? like when he/she visited the site before doing the sale? am not sure if we can do that with Google analytics or if we can do it with something else... any ideas?
if you want to track each visitor behavior, for that you can create custom reports in google analytics. and of course, you can use statcounter for real time tracking.
That was a useful contribution Set up goals with funnels to the conversion page - set the urls for the funnels back as far as you can on the visitors journey with as many stages as possible and you'll see at what points they drop off. Even without that if you go to Content - Navigation summary and pick your conversion page from the drop down menu of your urls, you'll see entrance and exit paths
You could also click on the thankyou page from the content section and then click Navigation Summary to where they been and where they went next.
