Hey eventuality tracking friends, we are unequivocally vehement to announce a new underline to a Analytics eventuality tracking landscape: non-interaction events. “But wait!” we ask, “How can an event—which measures user interaction—be non-interactive? And since would we wish that anyway?”
The answer is simple: infrequently we wish to lane pacifist events on your pages, like images from an involuntary slip show. In this case, we wish such events to be excluded from rebound rate calculations since they don’t lane caller interaction. Now, we can symbol these events as non-interaction events, so that they don’t impact a rebound rate for a page.
Let’s illustrate. Suppose your home page has an picture slip uncover that automatically serves adult 5 images in rotating order. Like so:
You wish to request an eventuality tracking call with any transformation of a slider, so that we know that images are being seen many by visitors to your home page. However, there isn’t unequivocally any communication compulsory on a visitors’ interest to rivet with this slider. You know that in a past, eventuality tracking for this slider would make a rebound rate for your home page dump dramatically. Better to bar these events from rebound rate calculation, so that a rebound rate for your home page is distributed usually from pageviews for a page and not events.
How do we use it? Add a new non-interactive parameter with a _trackEvent() process like this:
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ImageSlider', 'Home', 'Image1', 1, true]);
To review a details, check out a Event Tracking Guide or a Reference doc on a _trackEvent() method.
In a past, we had to trade off rebound rate signals for eventuality tracking in some situations. Now, with a ability to appropriate an eventuality as possibly interactive or not, we can have your events and bounces too.
We wish we consider this facilities is as nifty as we do. Tell us some of your good applications and uses below!
