Tracking dynamic URLS with Google Analytics (Goals)

Hey guys,
I have the following 2 urls that Im wanting to track within Google Analytics, but Im a little unsure about how best to do this.

Here are the two URLs.

Code:
/payment/sharead_paid_redirect.asp?share_ID=XXXX&payment_amount=XX&credits_purchased=X&user_ID=XXX
 
/payment/profile_paid_redirect.asp?profile_ID=XXXX&payment_amount=XX&credits_purchased=X&user_ID=
XXX
Okay, a couple of things here...

1. The querystring parameters change each time these pages are hit.
2. Im only interested in the following querystring value 'payment_amount'
3. The other querystring values arent required in order to track goals.

Question is...

1. Which match type do I use within GA? Regular expression?
2. What do I type in?

Would this work?

Code:
/payment/sharead_paid_redirect.asp?payment_amount=XX
If Ive left anything out, please let me know.

Thanks guys.

John

    Shame you didn't get a reply to this - I am also trying to implement something like this. I tried to gauge conversions from people landing on the thankyou page, but that's hopeless, it's in my sitemap probably, and just gets hammered by bots all the time.

    But I really suck at regular expressions - that is what you would need basically, so you could do a match just on that one expression... Maybe someone will chime in.

    Im sure hoping so.

    Ive posted this over the GA support forum also, but so far, no response.

    I really would like to get this working.

    Mark, perhaps disallow crawler access to your thank you page? You could do this with your robots.txt file easily.
