I have the following table in my Dashboard:
Page path level 1 Visits Goal Completions
----------------- ------ ----------------
/sub1/ 994 1,295
/ 102 3
/sub2/ 10 1
I know my conversion rate is 10-20%, and that actually in this period I only had 183 goal completions under /sub1/.
My goal is set as a regular expression for a particular page (/success?.*), and I have a funnel set up which tracks the page before the goal (/action). The actual urls hit would be /sub1/action then /sub1/success?1234 and /sub2/action then /sub2/success?1234.
Why is my table in my dashboard giving me wildly wrong numbers? Have I done something wrong?
