759595 - Tracking email conversions in web trends

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 780935

Description

[Winston Bowden]

I'm trying to figure out how many clicks the newsletter sign up button is receiving here - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/.  

I'd like to know the number of clicks the "Sign me up" button is receiving each week. I thought we had a report that showed newsletter conversions, but I can't locate it in web trends.  

Does that report exist?  If so, can you help direct me to it?

I do not see any reoprt that will report on the clicks to that button. Also,Since this is a button click event rather than a page load, we will need to add some code to the event to generate a hit to webtrends.

Winston: Since this form is at the bottom of many of our new pages, what if we embedded the tracking code on all of the buttons and then use the referring page as the source? This way, we could compare conversion rates of sign ups across the site.

Bill: Does this sound doable?

Great plan.

Doable. We'll need to call the dcsMultiTrack function on the onClick event for the button. When you are ready I can come up with the exact call you need to impliment.

Hey Bill. We are ready when you are ready as we can take the code and assign it to one of our developer to put in our templates. If you can get use what we need to add to the pages, I can take it from there.

Add this to the onClick event for the Sign Me Up buttons only:
dcsMultiTrack('DCS.dcsuri','/signmeup.button','WT.ti','Sign%20Me%20Up','WT.dl','26');

I'll need specifics as to what metrics we need on the report. It may be as simple as using WT.es (Event Source) for the dimension, adding a filter to only get the sign up buttons and adding Hits and Visits.

Actually, I checked and it looks like it may be tracking already. See the onSubmit part of the form:

I don't think this is the same form. Note the absence of the country pull down on the page vs the form code. Also I do not get a tag fire when submitting the form.

The newsletter signups rerpot in the Mozilla.org(combined) profile is populating and it looks good. Ok to close this bug?
