tracking ccbill's /confirmSignup.cgi page in google analytics - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi all,

I am trying to modify my join page to track ccbill stats in google analytics (tracking Multiple domains in Google Analytics) using _link() and _linkByPost()

It looks like I have to modify the CCBILL form!

I.E. this ccbill form:

Quote:

<form action='https://bill.ccbill.com/jpost/signup.cgi' method=POST>
<div align="center"><b><font color="#000000" size="4" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">CREDIT CARD</font></b>
<input type=hidden name=clientAccnum value='934401'>
<input type=hidden name=clientSubacc value='0002'>
<input type=hidden name=formName value='50cc'>
<input type=hidden name=language value='English' >
<input type=hidden name=allowedTypes value='0000001322:840,0000040762:840' >
<input type=hidden name=subscriptionTypeId value='0000001322:840' >
<br>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Instant Credit Card Access">
</div>
</form>

After a lot of research and a big headache

I found that if I want the ccbill form to allow Google Analytics to track Multiple Domains, It needs to be setup with the following code in the form:

My question is: how should I add this line of code in the CCBILL form?

Should I changeonly the last line of the CCBILL form:

by something like this?

Have you tried using the Goal function?
I added these and that's how I track what you're trying to do..
/jpost/approved.cgi
(approved sale)

Ask your ccbill rep what other URL's you should add..

This is how we do it as well

Yes that's what I use as well but wouldn't it be nice to actually see what happens on CCBILL's billing forms? (especially since now GA is in real time)

I found this in Google Analytics Help:

Quote:

Set up forms.
If you send information between domains using forms, you'll need to use the _linkByPost() method.

Asynchronous Code (default)
<form name="f" method="post" onsubmit="_gaq.push(['_linkByPost', this]);">

Note: This should also work with forms that use GET method. However, keep in mind that since both the form data and the Analytics tracking can create a long query string, using this method with GET forms might cause issues if your web server imposes a URL length restriction (such as 255 bytes).

Should I add the whole line <form name="f" method="post" onsubmit="_gaq.push(['_linkByPost', this]);"> into the ccbill form?

After a few hours of data, it still shows bill.ccbill.com as a source when someone hits the /jpost/approved.cgi page !

It looks like the GA cookie is not forwarded when a visitor submits a form that takes him to bill.ccbill.com, and as it does not find a cookie it will start a brand new GA visit as a new visitor.

Yet I use the <form action='https://bill.ccbill.com/jpost/signup.cgi' method="POST" onsubmit="_gaq.push(['_linkByPost', this]);"> to forward the damn cookie!!!

I've contacted ccbill on this thread: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=921411 to have some kind of explanation because it looks like they're not doing their job there, even the GA snippet on their forms use the old traditional syntax, not the async one
