How do I correctly create my goals for Google Analytics event tags?

Question

I have setup some goals in the last week and results still aren't filtering through - I have a feeling its due to my poor knowledge of RegEx and the dynamic nature of the events I want to be tracking.

We track clicks on car makes, so I have created a goal with, action that matches:

UsedCars.Model.Homepage.

An example of an event that we have:

trackable_UsedCars.Model.Homepage.Subaru.Impreza STI

I want to be able to have a goal that collates ALL of these actions as a goal set, however feel that the full-stops (periods for US readers) are causing some mayhem here.

Answer 1

Try using the following RegEx in Google Analytics...

UsedCars\.Model\.Homepage\.

Hope this helps.
