Tracking homepage visits

[KarlBantleman]

Hi Mozzers,

I run a website that has some buttons on the homepage. These URL's are not unique as they are accessible from the nav bar at the top of the page. I want to see the conversion rate of the homepage buttons. Is this possible?

I currently use Crazy Egg to see how many people are clicking on the buttons but I want more information as I'm sure whether they are converting.

Thanks,

Karl

Hi Karl,

you can track the buttons with event tracking of google analytics >

Hi Karl,

I second Dany's advice. Additionally, and while it doesn't give you the direct data you are asking for, you can use Google Analytics Flow Reports to get a better idea of what your readers are looking for. Since you had mentioned conversions, this type of data will give you insights beyond just click numbers, and help you optimize the most sought after content.
