issue with google analytcis - duplicate goals

Hey there warriors,

I have two goals set up in my Analytics.

Both have the same Goal Url but have different url steps and have different 1st step (which i setup as required).

So for example for goal 1 I have:
1./product1/step1 - required
2./product1/step2
3./thank-you

For goal 2 I have:
1./product2/step1 - required
2./product2/step2
3./thank-you

When somebody buy product1 I get both goal 1 and goal 2 conversions in my analytics saying both products have been bought.

If I'm wrong, how do I set it up so they don't convert as one goal but as two goals as it is intended to work?

I need to use one Goal Url (/thank-you) just because it is a page where I check the payment have been processed. It would be silly to duplicate the same page for different goals.

Thank you all

    In this case simply add a parameter to your thank you page like this

    /thank_you?&product_1
    and
    /thank_you?&product_2

    Then assign the first url (/thank_you?&product_1) to your Goal 1 and the second on to your goal 2. Be careful if you have already parameters in your thank you page coming from shopping cart.
