Creating Campaigns for tracking via Google Analytics

FOR the OFFLINE campaign:

an ASP redirect which redirects from www.marjon.ac.uk/shakespeare2015 to the event page with google tracking attached in it i.e. use the 'Generate URL' builder on the event page not the www.marjon.ac.uk/shakespeare2015 page.

  • You need to create the campaign url of the page you want to redirect to which should be the event page + the campaign tags.
  • Google Analytics will then track any traffic that you have using the campaign tags specific to the tags you add. So if anyone goes to www.marjon.ac.uk/shakespeare2015 they will be redirected to the
    event page + the campaign tags page and this will show up in the statistics under the campaign you have created.
FOR the ONLINE campaign via Email:

you just embed the URL you are sending in your email with the tags and it should track e.g:

 Shakespeare Summer School 2015

How does the Course Search work?

The course search searches web page names that are physically in the root of the course section of the website  http://www.marjon.ac.uk/courses/courses/  - not the entire website. If you want any courses to appear from the search then it needs to be added to the courses section of the website. One way of doing this is  to create a duplicate branch under  http://www.marjon.ac.uk/courses/courses/  which does not show in navigation but allows for the course to come up under the course search.  This would need to be done for any other non-standard courses if you wanted to use the course search for them.
