"Goal" Information in Analytics

[TheShortStack]

I've been setting up goals in Google Analytics recently to keep track of the individual affiliate links that are being clicked.

There's only one problem though - while I can now see goals being tracked in my analytics backend, I can't quite figure out how to find out how to get analytics to tell me which goal/link it was that has been clicked on.

Can anyone help out at all?

Cheers,

How did you set up the goals?

I guess this is not a goal but you can do it this way also

If you click on "Goals > Goal Verification" it should tell you what link triggered the goal.

If you click on "Goals > Goal Verification" it should tell you what link triggered the goal.

Thanks for the reply, but it just seems to list the /go/ directory rather than the actual room value associated with the room.

Is your goal set to trigger just on /go/?

How is the goal setup?

For instance mine is setup as Regular Expression Match.

The Goal URL is: /outbound/(.*) (yours would be /go/(.*))

I then link to my affiliates using the method sirtiner mentions:

For instance:
