Try changing your goal value to just the number 1. No word blank. No slash. No dollar sign.
The only other setting you have different from mine is the case sensitivity. I have it turned off.

Grr... took case sensitivity off. Same error. Changed goal value to 1, still same error. I tried every combination with those last options, still same error.

Next step verify that Step 5 through Step 10 have nothing in them. After that, I recommend you blank and retype the URLs in case there is something you are just not seeing in there. The URL itself doesn't have to be valid, but there may be a check for http:// at the beginning.

This is what they should be:
Goal URL: http://www.photographycorner.com/fun...e_account.html
Step 1: http://www.photographycorner.com/fun...er/signup.html
Step 2: http://www.photographycorner.com/fun...ster_form.html
Step 3: http://www.photographycorner.com/fun...ber_added.html
Step 4: http://www.photographycorner.com/fun...e_account.html

I put the settings above into a domain for my account, using copy shortcut to get the full URL path. Google accepted it without a problem. If you want, grant my google account the ability to login and look at your account and I'll be happy to check it out. faewen at g mail dot c o m

Does anyone know when google analytics is going to allow signups? Seems they closed registration.

Not sure what was going on before, but I started again, and it worked. ;) Either Google had a brain cramp before, or I did. :P Thanks for all the help... great mod! :D

Any idea what you changed? I'm having the same issue.

Closed my browser and went back in... that's about it, actually. Try logging out and logging back in, maybe?

i dont understand what this hack does???

They have said they will allow signups as their system allows it. The last time I checked, they let you put your name on the waiting list.
