[web2py] Re: How to measure conversion rate with google analytics?

2013-12-08 Thread Mika Sjöman
I have

But I get no conversion rates at all. Apparently it needs a special goal 
URL in Google Analytics to set up a goal (Bottom left). 

What I did was to set a new column in auth_user.just_registered with 
default value of True. If they come into the system with a True value, they 
get redirected to a success page which then moves them into the normal 
command central page. Quite smooth, and it could probably not be a part of 
web2py since conversion rate is really specific to each website, because 
you will have to figure out what a success is. 

Since this is mostly a standard thing (anybody using analytics and web2py 
would like to measure conversion rate for signups), maybe web2py should 
send all people to a register success page automatically that then 
redirects people to whatever URL they set as the destination.  

Cheers :)

can't you just add google analytics to your site.  from there you can see 
referrers and funnels and conversions etc. with almost no extra work.
