Finding Location of an Activity Map Link

I am seeing unexpected data in the Activity Map Link dimension. Does anyone know how I can locate where (what page) a link is coming from??

Break it down by Activity Map Page

 

Activity Map collects three pieces of info:

  • The Link Text
  • The Page Name where the link was clicked
  • The Region of the page where it was clicked

 

By default, the region isn't the greatest, it just picks up the closest ancestor "id" value, which generally isn't a very readable value for analytics, but you can improve that by using:

And add custom attributes to denote regions, and get your developers to place them where you want and with names that make sense.

 

(Note, I use data-lpos, rather than just lpos, so that we are following proper HTML semantics)
