| On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | scrispin | 3/9/09 8:08 AM | On the funnel visualization for my goals, the top exit page always seems to be the same as the first step page. Does anyone know why this would be? For example, 20 of the 43 people that hit page 1 of my request information form (RequestInfo.php) ex |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | ShoreTel | 3/9/09 7:34 PM | What URL are you using for your "Step 1" page? It could be accidently matching more than just the RequestInfo.php by accident, making GA think that every page belongs to "Step 1" when it really doesn't. |

| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | ShoreTel | 3/10/09 8:33 PM | If you don't start your Goal Steps with "http://" Google Analytics thinks you are trying to use a regular expression. I suspect that's what is getting everything confused. In your case I would suggest embracing the regular expressions by changing you |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | ddc | 5/5/09 8:54 AM | I too have been looking for info about this problem, and I don't think any of the solutions mentioned above are really what the problem is.

| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | analytics.annie | 6/3/09 3:57 AM | ddc I have exactly the same issue on my funnel reports. One of the highest exit pages is the same as the existing page. I don't understand how this can be. Is it something as simple as a page refresh? I watched the above youtube video and it does |

| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | AnalyticsPro.Chris | 7/13/09 8:18 AM | Yes, if your page refreshes, you can find it as an exit page. For example, your product page may refresh when the user updates any of the selected items or quantity. In which case, it will be shown as an exit to the same page. -- Christelle |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | anthonyg | 8/7/09 1:25 AM | We have the same problem. I think there is a problem with the report. It is fairly normal on a checkout process to be returned to the same page quite often if a validation error occurs. The user hasn't exited the funnel if this happens and in fact |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | bluereef | 10/6/09 6:38 AM | I think this answers only one part of the question. Why for example is my home page appearing as an exit page when it is part of the funnel( answer: because some users refresh the page) however I still don't get why the second step of the funnel woul |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | Beatever | 12/18/09 6:28 AM | If this is caused by page refreshes, shouldn't I find these in the navigation summary as well? Or are page refreshes, that result in leaving the site, all combined under "exit" in the navigation summary report? |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | Beatever | 1/7/10 3:46 AM | Update: this is a known issue that is on the list for being resolved. Apparently, it's also a recent issue. |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | quarterdome | 2/17/10 1:41 PM | @Beatever, could you elaborate? What exactly is the known issue? The "top exit page is the same as next page in funnel", or are you talking about something else? Thanks! |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | Beatever | 4/27/10 3:19 AM | Sorry, The fact that a top exit page on your funnel is actually an page from your funnel.I got a mail from the technical staff that the issue is known, and hopefully 1 day, will being resolved. |
| Re: On Goals Funnel Visualization, Top Exit Page Is Same As Starting Page | boozika2000 | 4/28/10 11:04 PM | @AnalyticsPro.Chris If a page refreshes why would it show as an exit to that page? Doesn't the funnel visualization report show visits and not pageviews? Can you clear this up? Does that mean that if I refresh a page in the funnel process, or press t |
