To Whom It May Concern:<br />
<br />
I have a website made in joomla and I am trying to set up some goals in google analytics for it. However by viewing the page contents report on google analytics I noticed that there are two way to get to the same page.<br />
<br />
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=96&Itemid=8<br />
<br />
http://www.mydomain.com&nbsp;/articles-8/mainmenu-13/96<wbr />-My-Articl<wbr />e-Name<br />
<br />
The first link it seems I can only get to if I type it into my browser directly, where as the second link is what I get by navigating to the page using the buttons on the website.<br />
<br />
I set up goals for both the links but I get a different number of goal reached (I.e. how many people navigated to the page)<br />
<br />
I would like to know why two different url are leading me to the same page and what is the true address that I should be tracking?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Two links lead to the same page in joomla

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.
