Hi

I was just wondering last night...

Does anyone know of a script or a tracking program that records how long a prospect takes to return to your page using the back button?

For example, a prospect clicks your link on your landing page. They read the cpa offer page for a bit, then click the back button. Is there any way to measure and record the time it takes from when the prospect clicks your link to when they return to your page using the back button?

Thanks alot
 


I don't know of a script that would do that, and just using apache logs wouldn't necessarily work either because when the user hits the back button the browser doesn't request the page again from the server.....it just renders what was cached.

What could be done is bind some javascript to the onload event of the page and make an ajax logging call which logs all visits to your lander. You could also have it log the click which takes the user to the cpa offer page. This way, you could sequentially order the log entries and see what kind of timeframes you're looking at. It would look something like:

127.1.1.1 11:30:21 (loaded lander)
127.1.1.1 11:31:20 (clicked cpa link)
127.1.1.1 11:32:05 (loaded lander)
 
Google analytics should be able to capture this data. I just don't know if you can filter down to an individual user or not and see just their session hits in sequential order. I can't remember if you can do that or not.
