Destination goals tracking "Unique Pageviews" or "Visits"?

Question

In Google analytics, what's being tracked in destination goals? Is it visits to a page or unique page views? Is there anyway to change what the goal can track?

Answer 1

The way Destination goals work is they get logged when ever anyone hits the URL. So if the person has been there before it will be logged a second time.

To answer your question its not unique and i don't think you can change that. Only way i can think of to maybe get around that would be to set a cookie on there browser and use that to change the URL adding something like ?hasbeenhere=1 and then set up a dynamic URL that would ignore it in the Goal. But i haven't tried that it was just an idea.

Dynamically generated or variable URLs

I hope this helps.
