Yes, thats true, Paul.
Once again, thank you for sharing your thougts.

I found a tool called Paditrack. It helps me to understand and try some funnels too.

Thank you for your comment!

It’s true that you can find this information within your regular Analytics data.

However, if you set up goals for specific actions, you can do a lot more. You can set up goal values (to calculate value per visit for a specific channel), automatically see Conversion Rates for each of your goals.

And, something very important, you can segment the data. You could look at goals vs. traffic channel or vs. device type. Many more interesting insights are within your reach.

You can segment virtually any report with goals.

Your regular Analytics data is ok, but doesn’t tell the complete story.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Paul

But i’m trying to understand what’s the difference between the Goals and the regular analytics data. I mean you can find out how many people stay at your site for 3 minutes or more, you can see how many people reach the thankyou.html page, or how many people has clicked on a play button. Maybe the funnel option is really unique, but can you please tell me this difference? I think i’m doing something wrong or i’m confusing about this tools.

Thank you Paul,
