Page views and Visits using conversion variable in Sitecatalyst

Question

With reference to this question Page views and Visits using traffic variables in Sitecatalyst I have changed USERID from traffic variable to conversion variable (evar).

I have navigated to CUSTOM CONVERSION->CUSTOM CONVERSION 1-10-> selected USERID and it showed me all user's and Visits.

USERID  VISITS

user1    3

user2    4

user3    20

I just dragged "Page views" from "add metrics" button and can see below report

USERID  VISITS  PAGE VIEWS 

user1    3       20

user2    4       40

user3    2       10

If I click on break down icon of user1 and have following report,I have noticed that Visit value changes for each page,my understanding is it should be same for all pages ie 3 int this case.Please let me know the reason.

          Visits        Page Views

user1:         3              20


home           3               4  

login          3               4

about          2               4

details        1               4

registration   1               4

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

In that breakdown report, you are seeing the pages that contributed to each of user1's 3 visits.

• All three visits touched the home page at one time.
• Two of the three visits viewed the about page.
• Only one of the three visits touched the registration page.
