1077856 - Add GA custom events on start.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Firefox Start, defect)

Description

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Let's add a GA custom event for either clicking the "Google search" button or hitting enter in search box. Possibly just do it onSubmit of the form.

Button:

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Search', 'Button', 'Google Search']);

Enter:

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Search', 'Enter', 'Google Search']);

or if we do it onSubmit:

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Search', 'Submit', 'Google Search']);

This will help us understand how often people search from the page vs. just have it set as their homepage and then move on.

Could we also track a few more things:

1) clicks on the "Firefox Download" CTA that gets presented in the modal. 

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'start.mozilla.org Interactions', 'download button click', 'Firefox for Desktop']);

2) Clicks on the no thanks link.

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'start.mozilla.org Interactions', 'link click', 'No thanks. I'll risk it.']);

Thanks!

Given Gareth's feedback in comment 2, let's make the Google events:

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'start.mozilla.org Interactions', 'Button', 'Google Search']);

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'start.mozilla.org Interactions', 'Enter', 'Google Search']);

or 

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'start.mozilla.org Interactions', 'Submit', 'Google Search']);
