I have thoroughly read over the information on Google Analytics website for tracking e-commerce values on 3rd party sites, but there is alot of overlapping information that just doesn't make sense to me.
1. The tutorials tell you to post this script on your website and the 3rd party website:
| Code: |
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
_udn="none";
_ulink=1;
urchinTracker();
</script> |
Ok, but how in the world are you supposed to get the 3rd party website to post this script on all their webpages? Do you only get them to post this script on their confirmation page?
2. There is another script you post on your links going to the 3rd party website that looks like this:
| Code: |
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="javascript:__utmLinker(\'https://www.merchant.com/?store=parameters\');">Purchase Now</a>');
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="https://www.merchant.com/?store=parameters">Purchase Now</a>
</noscript> |
Ok, so where do I enter in the parameter that will report the total_cost of the sale back to GA?
Any help is greatly appreciated........thanks in advance,
John
