Contact forum and invisible tracking

Apr 15, 2012 11:27 PM

Tags: #form #contact

I am a newbie in web design. The website I am working on has a lot of pages, and from some of thouse pages the client wants to be able to track where the customer is lead from to the contact form. Example the customer is in the learning section and clicks on the link "click to learn more" they are taken to the contact form and when they submit the information that they arrived to the form from the "learning page" is passed on so that my client knows. Is anything like this possible? Thanks

    You need to get yourself a free Google Analytics account.

     

    Very helpful for all kinds of reasons and it also does the kind of thing you describe - and then some!

    Google analytics would help, but a simple solution would be to just add the originating page name in the querystring of the link. Then on the form page use either server side scripting or javascript to read the querystring into a hidden form field.
