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

2013 Website Redesign - Creating a custom page look & feel using the current '2013 Landing' page layout

First we need to change the 'Page layout' option in SiteManager on the 'Marjon 2013' channel as below (when modifying a section) to '2013 Landing':  The next stage is to add content to the page. There are a number of content types that can be used: Articles Article Snippets   Banner Slide  Highlight Button Our Community Small Snippets Specialisms The only precursor to the custom page is that a banner slide must be added to the page. After that multiple occurrences of any of the content types can be added to create a custom page layout.
