How to track entry pages without the ?variables

I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature but i’d like to be able to track page entries without the ?query string variables . Just “twitter” “facebook” etc is good enough I’d rather see the URL count as the entry page than this long string of one page things

Also in the Measurable global settings:

and

(not sure if it will exclude the tracking of the selected HTTP params…)

During tracking

Another solution would be to change the page URL during tracking:

Standard JavaScript

See: setCustomUrl( string ) - Override the page’s reported URL

MTM


(Note: {{pageUrl}} is one of my own custom variable)
