Urchin will allow you to use regular expressions as wildcards so you can be more flexible in defining goal paths.
For example, you have 5 pages in your /products/ directory. You want the second page in the goal path to be 1 of 3 pages out of the total 5. The other 2 should not be included. So, the path you want visitors to follow looks like this:
Page 1= /index.htmlThe home page
Page 2= /products/shoes.htmlshoe shopping page
Page 2=/products/shirts.htmlshirt shopping page
Page 2= /products/hats.htmlhat shopping page
(don’t want to include /products/ties.html or /products/coats.html)
Page 3= /cart/checkout.phppurchase page
Goal= /cart/thankyou.htmlThank you
Since page 2 can be one of 3 pages but can’t include 2 other similar pages, you must use a regular expression that matches all 3 but excludes the other two when creating the second step in the goal path. This cannot be done using the wizard; you write this directly into the Web Addresses box.
Step 1: /index.html
Step 2: /products/(shoes|shirts|hats)\.html
Step3: /cart/checkout.php
Goal: /cart/thankyou.html
&lt;number&gt;
&lt;number&gt;
[Notes to presenter: Describe the goal and funnel report in Google Analytics.]
In the Funnel Visualization Report, the centermost column of boxes represent the steps in one of your defined goal funnels. Shown within each box is the percentage of visitors still in the defined funnel at each step. Shown at right, under Abandonment Points, are the visitors who abandoned the funnel and where they went. Shown at left are the Entrance Points, points from which visitors arrive to the funnel.
Google Analytics’ Funnel Visualization Reports give you information to help you figure out the answers to the questions on the bottom right.

Creating multiple URLs for different campaigns can be a cumbersome process for a very large site with many different campaigns and keywords. Instead of creating multiple URLs, you may also use a single variable called utm_id. This must be combined with a master tracking table that resides on the Google Analytics processing server. Every profile can have one master tracking table only. A master tracking table allows you to tag your links with a variable that is matched with each of the required utm variables above in a list that looks like this (where 1, 2, and 3 equal utm_id=1, utm_id=2, etc.
