Sheen: There are several ways to do this. For example you could use the “event logging” feature of Google Analytics. Some of the other tools also have this feature.

You can also leverage onclick events (a good old way of doing it). You can also do couple other things.

At the end of this post there are four specific ways you can get help on how to do this on your website. I recommend using the GAAC option, but its totally your call.

For other vendors, please check with their tech support (they are all quite helpful).

On our website homepage, we want to track banners which are refreshing after some time period.

Is it possible to track the no. of visits and other metrics from these banners like how many people are clicking because that’s on our home page and covers the main area of our website. Our main concerns is refresh here for tracking.

Thanks for the podcasts Avinash and WAA. It is nice to see a rationale perspective on rich / web 2.0 experiences and your practical suggestions.

I don’t see too many companies embracing testing and learning from their mistakes. I like the example in your podcast of implementing AJAX Live Search on your blog, measuring effectiveness and then reverting back to normal search when data indicated the cool search was not working. This is something most websites are not good at.

Excellent interviews Avinash. There were so many things to note that I had to listen each podcast twice. Because of the focus in our large media company I found the RIA / Flash podcast particularly interesting, “business events” are going to be gospel for us.

Your blog is a rare Web Analytics blog where there is value in every post. Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated.
