We have an app built by a vendor that gives our users the ability to see events and their dates.
A user can search for an event by searching by either specific date, date range, or by event name.
If found, the results are displayed as links and users can click these links to view details.
We are interested in capturing the number of clicks by visitors to the site.
Since the app is not built by us, we are unable to figure out a way to retrieve how many times a user or site visitor clicks on a particular link on a particular page.
We can, however, open an iislog in windows\system32 directory to grab information about click counts.
My question is whether there is a way to programmatically retrieve link click counts on a particular page from iislogs?
Thanks in advance.

I need to Track single user behavior on my website, such as if the user Click on a button, his location, time spending in the product page ..., i use google analytics to track the Traffic but the problem is that i cant get every user and his behavior, it gives me just the total page view, total sessions...etc
Is there is another option or tools to do that ?
I'd like to see the number of visitors on a specific page (for which I have URL).
I don't find in Analytics where to enter a URL in order to look for statistics for this specific page.
Go to Behavior > Site Content > All Pages and put your URI into the search box.
If you want to know the number of visitors (as is titled in the question) and not the number of pageviews, then you'll need to create a custom report.
Terminology
Google Analytics has changed the terminology they use within the reports. Now, visits is named "sessions" and unique visitors is named "users."
User - A unique person who has visited your website. Users may visit your website multiple times, and they will only be counted once.
Session - The number of different times that a visitor came to your site.
Pageviews - The total number of pages that a user has accessed.
Creating a Custom Report
To create a custom report, click on the "Customization" item in the left navigation menu, and then click on "Custom Reports".
The "Create Custom Report" page will open.
Enter a name for your report.
In the "Metric Groups" section, enter either "Users" or "Sessions" depending on what information you want to collect (see Terminology, above).
In the "Dimension Drilldowns" section, enter "Page".
Under "Filters" enter the individual page (exact) or group of pages (using regex) that you would like to see the data for.
Save the report and run it.
As Blexy already answered, go to "Behavior > Site Content > All Pages".
Just pay attention that "Behavior" appears two times in the left sidebar and we need to click on the second option:
I have a site that lists business listings from a database. On each page you can do different things such as forward it to a friend, print the page etc. My question is could I use google analytics to track impressions and views for each listing? So if I showed the top 10 listings on the home page I want to track each listing as an impression since its being showed, then if they click one of the links to view the business listing it tracks it as a view. Then on the business listing details page if they do any of the actions such as forward to a friend or print the page I want to track that as well.
For tracking views/clicks Im assuming I would need to use setPageView passing something like setPageView('/listing/12345') correct? I dont know how to track it for impressions though. Then on the listing details page to track if they printed it etc Im assuming I would track it as an event? Such as trackEvent('listing', 'Print') if that is what I need to do for event how does it associate with the page tracking so that I could see how many times someone printed the listing page for /listings/12345?
No need to create fake page views. Google Analytics has a feature called Event Tracking, which is described in the Event Tracking Guide. The guide has an illustrative example;
A simple example illustrates how you might use the Event Tracking method
to record user interaction with a video Play link on your page. It
assumes that pageTracker is the name used for your tracking object.
Play
In this scenario, the reports for Events would display Videos as the Category,
Play as the Action, and Baby's First Birthday as the Label.
In your case, you would track Views and Clicks using the Event Tracking feature. You'd have to decide on how you'd want Actions, Categories and Labels set up to match your data. You might want package types (Gold, Silver etc) as Categories or Labels, for example.
This question and its answers are similar to your scenario.
first time here. I have searched all day for my particular issue with no luck.
I have users that have specific roles auto generated (they purchase a game). I want to display files available to their particular role on their user profile page. I just want to know how I can add a generic view or associate a panel with user profile pages. I want this to display for every user, not on a per user basis. Basically it'll act like, say, direct2drive, you log in and go to your user profile basically and see what games you bought. Seems simple but I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to do this.
I am pretty used to using views but I just don't get how to edit the user profiles like I want to.
Thanks!
The simplest way is to install views_attach, and create a view with a Profile display. This displays the View on the user profile pages, rather than on its own page or in a block, and will pass the user's uid to the View as an argument.
Alternatively, if you're already using comfortable using panels, you can go to admin/build/panels and enable the Users panel. This replaces the user profile page with a panel, which you can add views, nodes and blocks to as normal.
I would like to track where users originally came from when they make a purchase on my site so I know which keywords are more profitable and which websites are best for advertising.
an example is a user is on my site with my google analytics tracking code which has details of where they came from, and then decides to upgrade. they leave my domain to go to my biller (2checkout) complete the purchase and return to my thank you page.
I have transaction code and analytics code on my thank you page and the transactions are showing up with the correct product/amounts in GA however there is no other data and in my reports the referring url is always my biller or a credit card companies authorisation page.
i can manually connect which customer is which by saving their referring data when they first come to the site and then matching it up after they make a sale, but I would like it to show up in my google adwords / analytics account where it is easier to manipulate the data and see trends.
if anyone can help me with this annoying issue I would be vbery greatful, but I fear I may end up living off reports I create and then matching them up with adwords manually :/
One thing you can do is have a click event trigger a custom variable. When the user clicks on whatever link that takes them to your biller, have the custom variable trigger with the information you want to carry over (like the current page URL, some campaign name, whatever). Specify the custom variable's scope as Session or Visit so that it get associated with the thank you page.

An alternative is to do campaign tracking:

That is more or less the same principle as the first suggestion, but with using specified URL parameters. Depending on how your pages are actually coded, you may need to push a virtual page view with the campaign code(s):
