Q: If the Google Merchandise Store sets up a URL goal of “/thankyou”? and a Match Type of “Begins with”?, which of the following pages on www.googlemerchandisestore.com will count as goals?
A) /thankyou/receipt.php
B) /thankyou.php
C) /thankyou.html
D) All of the above
Correct Answer is D) All of the above
Explanation:
If the Google Merchandise Store sets up a URL goal of “/thankyou” with a Match Type of “Begins with,” then any page on the website that starts with “/thankyou” will count as a goal.
For example, the following pages would count as goals:
- www.googlemerchandisestore.com/thankyou
- www.googlemerchandisestore.com/thankyou?order=12345
- www.googlemerchandisestore.com/thankyou?order=12345&payment=success
Any other pages on the website that do not start with “/thankyou” would not count as goals, regardless of whether they contain “/thankyou” elsewhere in the URL.
The “Begins with” match type is a precise way of defining the goal URL and ensures that only the specified pages are counted as goals, which can help provide more accurate and reliable data about user behavior on the website.
