Onclick js snippet CTR tracking (12)

Onclick js snippet CTR tracking

Does anybody know a decent alternative to google analytics ? Looking for something where I can use a js snippet to track onclick actions (track CTR) , track referral domains, devices etc.

Voluum , Thrive , FF don’t really fit in our scenario. As we have to use networks smart links directly on our assets.

Thanks

If you are already using Google Analytics, have you already tried using page events to track page clicks?

You basically need to add the following piece of code to your links:

Code:
 onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'PageClicks', 'Click');"
Which will end up looking like this:

Code:
<a href="yourlink" onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'PageClicks', 'Click');"></a>
Practically, for this to work you need to have your Google Analytics code present in your pages. If needed you can also setup a GA Goal where you track events with the following conditions.
Event Category = PageClicks
Event Action = Click


Hope this helps

Appreciate the advice @platinum!

The thing is we don’t really want to use GA as many domains get reported. We use low cost traffic from various sources and it’s hard to see what exactly flagged some domain. That’s why we aren’t willing to use GA but were looking for a solid alternative

Considering you have already tried FunnelFlux. What kind of funnel setups did you try?

Besides using their organic traffic tracking script. Have you tried using hardcoded links to specific nodes of the funnel? Like generating traffic links to a specific rotator that could help you easily rotate/change offers whenever needed.

Onclick js snippet CTR tracking

That’s the thing - we want to use our own smart links that do their job well at optimizing offers throughout the day

I still have an account with FF - maybe I can ask them if I can only use to track everything with their snippet except using their offer links on our pages.

Have you had any experience using FF to just simply track CTR (onclick actions) with smart links (rotator) provided by another party instead of their offer links ?

And to answer your question : yes I have tried pretty much all of the features offered by their team

Prosper202’s purlinks will do what you are looking for. No special coding needed, works out the box.

Actually P202 was the first tracker I ever used back in the days to run my first paid traffic campaigns in 2009 or so !

Thanks for the update Mr Baffoe ! I’ll check it out!

Do you have some kind of a manual/tutorial on how to use/set up purlinks?

No but I will update this page tomorrow. http://support.tracking202.com/en/ar...ing-page-codes

The setup is the same as a regular landing page setup but instead of using the old style redirect link you would use the purlink that’s displayed on step 7.

Hi. Just wanted to see if there were any updates on how to use purlinks. Were you able to update the above page? Can't find anything that mentions purlinks. The Simple method doesnt really fit my scenario

We have multiple smartlinks (offers) on the page

Just a quick update :
I looked into step 7 of a campaign set up and figured I could just simply use a campaign js snippet before </body> and simply add ?acip=123 at the end the external smartlinks , of course "123" in this case would change depending on a campaign ID. Would I use the same acip ID for all of the external link on the same landing page if we have many of them there? Did I get it right and would it work the way we need it to work ?
