Tracking Flash Banner clicks using Analytics

Hi there,

I am running few flash banners (swf) for my client on my WordPress blog. I am using Google Analytics Plugin for tracking visitors.
I would like to track the number of clicks on the swf banner. Is there any way to do it?

I have tried lots of things. But nothing worked. I am open to any solutions.. be it using Analytics or any other plugin in wordpress.

Regards,
pratik

 

You can do it, using event tracking or analytics for flash tracking. That's a bit out my experience, so I'll just leave the link, and maybe someone who has used it can answer any other questions you've got about it.

if you want to track banners then Google Url Builder is useful for you. go through below links and follow given instructions for banner tagging.

Let me know if you need any help.

 

I am guessing this is for tracking visitors that come to your site.

I want to know when someone clicks on the banner and leaves by site.

As for now I am using a redirect option. I have page a simple html page with google analytics codes in it and which redirects to the clients website... so that way i can trace who all have clicked on the banner

 

oh ok. do one thing put outbound link tracking code into that url of your website.. just remove google.com and put your client website landing page url and you can see this in Exit links reports as like /oubound/google.com

<a href=”http://www.google.com” onClick=”javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview (’/outbound/google.com’);”>

let me know still if you have any query.

 

Google Analytics, I began to use 3 weeks ago. I liked the service. I've posted the best online store security systems and communications
All recommend!!!

 

so to track outbound links I just need to change each link to:

<a href=”http://www.google.com”  onClick=”javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview (’/outbound/google.com’);”>

Code (markup):

and only change the

http://www.google.com

Code (markup):

ie. I leave the

/outbound/google.com

Code (markup):

or do I change this too?

thanks!
