» Follow up to Goal Conversions in Google Analytics

A few weeks back I posted an article highlighting what I thought was the solution to my Google Analytics goal conversion tracking dilemma. I later posted a comment noting that the solution did not work.

To catch you up to speed, I have a client who needs to track more than the alloted 4 conversion goals allowed in a Google Analytics profile. According to Google Help docs, to track more conversions you’re supposed to set up additional profiles.

The site I am doing this for requires that I use the old legacy Urchin. js code because we have Live Person Chat enabled on our site and the legacy code is the only code that can integrate at the current time with Google Analytics. So after trying a number of different code configurations I decided to grab the new GA.js code and run it along side in the Legacy Urchin code.

I originally ordered the code ga.js then urchin.js. I tested for a day and noticed that numbers were off a bit so I switched then around and now finally it appears that I am successfully tracking two separate profiles for the same website allowing my up to 8 conversion goals. The numbers are still off slightly but only by a handful or so.. I can live with that.

Below is a screen shot of what the Google Analytics code looks like in my website…
