We found a bug some time ago, still unresolved. While looking at “Goals overview” report, goals are listed correctly. As an exemple, we got 148 conversions, including 39 on goal 1 (click on Adsense).

But the fun comes when you click on goal 1, to get details on conversions for this specific goal.

Huh? 148 conversions, or 39??? Remember, 148 is the total of all conversions. Hence, we can deduce that display of conversions in “Total Conversions” for goal 1 is wrong. Instead, it displays the total for ALL conversions. Hopefully, other goals are not affected, as shown for goal 2.

Make sure to look at the right data, or you might get misleading data to make decisions!

Update 2009-06-10: this bug has been fixed for a few days now. Good news!
