I think what I am doing now, as well as Shoemoney himself, is still sort of guessing game. As you just said just because they came through and click the button does not mean they definitely subscribed .

cool, i think what I'm going to do is just create a few banners that lead to my subscribe page (for email and rss). then anybody that lands on the subscribe page is considered a goal winner ;-)

I can track this super easy with openads. Of course it won't tell me if they actually pull the trigger and subscribe, but neither will the jump page solution.

It's not Analitycs alone that i ma concerned with. AdWords+Analytics if you have a "goal" set up and the page that you maybe pushing with PPC falls into the "funnel" it clearly gives them a hint of my profits- that is my concern. Fortunately I have no PPC for this blog on my other websites I do not have analytics....

As to the email subscriptions I am not tracking them yet. Jeremy, answering my comment, said he would be writing about it soon. So I am waiting..........

I've got nothing to hide from google analytics ;-)

what about email subscriptions, are you tracking the goal with them anyway?

I thought about doing that as well but the only code I found was a javascript, while it may not be as it use to but there are still enough of visitors that are not allowing javascripts to be served in their browser.

To be honest I was always suspicious of Google Analytics, good enough that they know what I am spending. I am not sure if I am completely ok with letting them nkow what I am making, but their statistics do kick some behind big time.

Good luck man.

cool, I'm not sure I want to set up a jump page but may look into that "on click" tracking mentioned in the first few comments.

Mark,

I think it will take about a month to collect some reasonable data. As of this week I can spend .05 on 45n5 top 100 list and still make money ;)

However the goal $2 (same as Shomoney) wen above what this blog is earning, way above. So may numbers are very deceiving at the moment. I will however adjust them accordingly.
