Google Analytics Tracking Code help

unable to see activity on goals

[oneforone2]

Hi,

I created goals on 5 pages and just I was able to see activity on 1 page and other 4 pages are getting activity and but the goals which are created are not showing the activity.

please help

Do I need to place the Google analytics tracking code on all pages that my website has? I mean I need to place it in all master pages?

Thanks in Advance.

Yes, it needs to be on all pages for which you want to track activity.

I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want it on all public pages. Some people do not put GA on backend pages or even don't put it on any pages when an admin user is logged in. On a low-traffic site that might make a difference, but on most sites that traffic would be negligible anyway.

I not placing code on the pages where do have admin access.

but I just want to know how many times that a apply button has clicked by my visitors, I just want to track that.

The click on the button on Page A or a visitor arriving to Page B are two different things to measure.

These are not the same because visitor may arrive to Page B without necessarily clicking on the button that is on Page A (e.g. it may arrive to Page B via entering URL in the address bar, via external link, link from somewhere else on your site or by having a page saved in favourites, etc.)

If you only want to be able to track button clicks then you are better off using onClick _trackEvent. The page that has button must have GA code installed. Hence setting up Goals is not the best way in this case.

Setting up Goals in GA is better when you want to track how many people came to a certain page and continued down the funnel. In this case you need to make sure you have GA code on all pages of the funnel and use funnel pages as your Goals.

Also, if you use Google Tag Manager, you can now enable automatic event tracking which includes click tracking I believe.

Haven't actually used it myself, so not sure how well it works.
