I would recommend something similar on any site, so you only need to maintain it in one place. Get your pages coded in PHP so that you can "include" a standard header and footer, and put the GA code in the footer.

Yes, you can check "required step" and yes, you can look at the abandonment rate, but remember, those things only work in the funnel visualization and other goal reports. You can't go to (for example) keywords and check the goal tab and see that the goal was achieved and also that they landed on the landing page. Ditto for all traffic sources. Everything in the "goals tabs" are about arrival at the final goal page, and GA doesn't care what you did before that in those reports. So if she (I think it is a she) wants to learn anything very interesting, a segment would work. There are other ways to achieve the same thing, like creation of a profile and filter. Thanks for your thoughts. Send more!! Robbin Hi everyone.

Yes, Jeroen is right, if the funnel is of more than 2 steps, having the first step required will do the trick for getting the 100% rate he wants to hear in the provided example. But your segment really is cool :). I love to play with segments which involve landing pages reports... they say a lot. Hi Robbin,

Isn't this solved by checking the box 'required step' next to your 'optin.html' in the goal funnel definition or have I understood the question wrongly ?
