Manual URL Tagging
– Tag destination URLs for online marketing campaigns to track their
performance in Google Analytics
– Example URL: http://www.yoursite.com/page.html?
utm_source=woot&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=blackisback&utm_term=blackisback
• utm_source: Identify an advertiser (referrer: google, citysearch, newsletter4)
• utm_medium: Advertising medium (marketing medium: cpc, banner, email)
– Using “cpc” or “ppc” will ensure Analytics treats this as a paid click
• utm_campaign: Campaign name (product, promo code, or slogan)
• Optional:
• utm_term: Paid search keyword
• utm_content: Use to differentiate ad versions (can be used for testing creative)

Defining Threshold Goals
Time on Site Goal
Pages/Visit Goal
55. 55 Google confidential55 Google confidential
Goal Value
– Assign monetary value for non-ecommerce goals
– Example:
– Your sales team can close 10% of people who request to be contacted
– Your average transaction is $500
– Therefore, you would assign $50 (i.e. 10% of $500) to your "Contact
Me" goal
56. 56 Google confidential
Goal Conversions versus Transactions
– A goal conversion can only happen once during a visit
– An e-commerce transaction can occur multiple times during a visit
– Example:
• If one of your goals is set to be any PDF file download, and it’s worth $5, you
will only see one download conversion per visit (i.e. $5 per visit) regardless of
how many downloads occurred
• If you track each PDF download as an e-commerce transaction, you will see as
many transactions as there were downloads

What we’ve heard from our customers about tagging
“I don’t like adding new
tags to my site because
I don’t know if the tag
will break my site.”
“I hate having to
retag my site every
time there’s a new
marketing tool.”
“Trying to get IT to
prioritize my marketing
tags takes 9 months.”
“Tags slow down
my page!”

Google Tag Manager keeps track
of your tags and fires these tags
based on rules that you define
When a user visits your site, the
most up-to-date tag configuration is
sent over to the end-user’s browser
with instructions for which tags
should fire
One snippet of code on every page of your site, easy web interface
