Can I track an image being clicked?

General questions

Hi,

We are considering using Piwik for our ASP.NET application. Our application allows our subscriber to upload ad images and publish the ads on a certain url; for which url, we will create an idSite and put tracking code on the page for this url.

Now, if there are 3 images on this page, and we’d like to track the # of clicks that each image gets…is there an existing API call that we can use for this purpose?

Note: this url will lead to other pages, but the 3 images will be on all of them. What I mean is: the starting url is: http://mysite.com/AAA/.../1 (the idSite will be created based on this url), then the user click the “Next” button on this page and go to http://mysite.com/AAA/Form, then the user fill in a form here, click “Submit” and go to the final page, which url is: http://mysite.com/AAA/ShowResult.

So i have 2 questions:

  1. Can we dynamically put the same tracking code that was generated based on the same idSite to all 3 urls listed above? The user will go through all 3 steps and hit all 3 urls mentioned above.

  2. The user could click on any image ( a pop-up window will show upon click) on any page - it will be the same user though, in the same session. How do I track the clicks on each image?

Note: there will be different users hitting the same url (http://mysite.com/AAA/.../1) simultaneously; so we need to consider this as well.

Please let us know exactly what to use.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Please consider using Content Tracking which is a feature designed to let you track how many times a user saw a given block of content (text, image, etc.) and how many times they clicked on it. see the doc here: http://piwik.org/docs/content-tracking/
