    Default "Goal" Information in Analytics

    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,
    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:

    How do I manually track clicks on outbound links? - Analytics Help

    For instance:

    HTML Code:
    <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/sidebar/Carbon Poker');" href="http://mycarbonpokeraffiliatelink">Carbon Poker</a>
