Google Analytics setup (advanced Javascript)

Question

I have three buttons on my website, all of the buttons opens a pop up contact form.

The three buttons are for different things e.g:

Request a call Get a brochure Visit us

But they all open the same form; What I want to do is use Google analytics to track the form and know what button they originally clicked; is this possible?

Can an onClick function be used on the button or something?

Really need some help on this!

Answer 1

Event tracking would be a better option since it won't over-inflate your pageviews. You can also set events as goals now.

<a href="#" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Contact Form', 'Button Click', 'Request a call']);">Request a call</a>

See the Event Tracking Guide

• RuFFCuT: Yeah thanks, I'm aware of this, and I can track the button click but when a user clicks the button; it takes them to the contact form, they then fill out a form and see the thank you page. So the contact form and thank you page are the same; what I want to know is what button they clicked to get the the thank you page: Sorry I should have been clearer.
• jk.: @RuFFCuT Right. And you can put the name of the button in the event tracking code. Instead of Request a Call you can put in button request call or whatever you want.

Answer 2

yes it's posible... '_trackPageview' it's your what are you looking for
