So I started to generate my URLS with an ID that I hope to filter.
For example, my url for froogle looks like this:
http://www.example.com/moreinfo.int?itemno=itemnumber&id=froogle
An example of my url that I put in ebay listings look like this:
http://www.example.com/moreinfo.int?itemno=itemnumber&id=ebay
How can I set up my analytics correctly to track how many users click these links and end up on my submitorder page ?
Thanks

A few things though.
a) I wouldn't use "ID". Do something useful like "campaign"
b) We do this, but there is an issue. You may now have duplicate content issues if search engines index the url containing the tracking variable. Now the search engines should work it out... but you would be surprised at how much help they need.
I created a goal using this as the first incoming url and the goal would be to hit my order submission page, however nothing is registering. any ideas how to properly implement this

Frankly that's a bit of a challenge for me. I try not to use it as much as possible because I just can't get it to bend the way I expect my data by bend!
I could have a look, but maybe someone here knows the answer off pat.
