Redirect to Web Site - Google Analytics Shows Conversion as Referral

    Hi there,

    We are using machform on multiple domains and noticed that whenever we submit a form and have it redirect to a thank you page. Google analytics shows the lead came from a referral site, which is a separate domain. Is there a way to fix this so analytics doesn't show the lead came as a referral?

    For example, if I go to the website via Google and submit a lead, the lead should show up as coming from Google Organic. Now it shows all leads coming from referral website, which is the domain we have machform installed on.

    Thanks!

    Does anyone know how to add google analytics to a specific form ID only?

    Danny, you need to exclude the referring URL from google analytics.

    Read this:

    This will fix the issue.

    Thanks celsius. Does that work when MachForm is installed on the same domain the forms are on (you mentioned you're working with multiple domains)?

    EDIT: Nevermind...re-read your original question. Thanks!

    Danny,

    If you are seeing the goal conversion url path from machform then you should add ?utm_nooverride=1 to the end of your thank you page URL. This will tell google analytics not to override the original source of the traffic.

    http://www.domain.com/thank-you?utm_nooverride=1

    That would be an example.

    Hi Celsius, we're still having the issue. Can you give an example of the URL that needs to be removed from referral? Is it the source URL for the for with the ID number in it?

    Sorry to keep bugging, but I've gotten no response from AppNitro support.

    would be easier for me to see a screenshot to help you. What is the domain referral path showing up under goal conversion source / medium?

    Sorry Celsius, I forgot to come back and thank you. Your fix worked. It was a couple of typos on our end that were wrong. Thanks again for your help!
