Conversion rate higher than visitors

[krystof78]

Hi all,

I am trying to track how many visitors came to my website and added something in their shopping cart. Not actually bought, just added something.

For that, I set a goal to the visitors landing on that specific page when they add something in their cart. Pretty basic so far...

The thing is, it happens sometimes that I have a higher number for this goal conversion than I have visitors coming to my website. For example, I had 110 visitors coming to my website on a specific date and 130 for this Goal Conversions.

How come that happens? I don't get how there can be more conversions than visitors, unless GA counts 1 visit on this page whenever someone adds an item to the shopping cart and then continues shopping, then adds another and so on...

Can anyone help me on that?

Thanks in advance! :)

when javascript is disabled, GA doesn't count the visit.

But then it would not count it for the Goal figures too, right?

So that should not change the fact that the visitors figure should be higher than the Goal Conversion one, right?

I would think, like you said, every time someone adds something to the cart, it is logging it. That would explain the results.
