In my current setup, for certain page requests I save the URL to file. Later in the day, I evaluate sales data, strip the query string from the some of the saved URLs and attach it to a new page request. Then I submit that request to to mark sale conversions.
When the requests first come in, Google Analytics registers utm keyword and source data without a problem. Later, when I submit the same query string to a different page, Analytics disregards the utm variables.
I do have auto tagging turned on. I've tried removing the gclid and modifying the utm variable to lowercase standard sources. Really all I'm looking to do is gather the keywords from the second page request in Analytics. Thoughts?
