content link clicks vs downloads

[Haritha_K]

What is the different between content link clicks and downloads reports?

Hi @Haritha_K 

A typical s.tl (Link call) syntax is -

s.tl([Link object],[Link type],[Link name],[Override variable]);

Custom link, download link and exit links are defined under Link type parameter by a single-character string that determines the type of link tracking call.

o: The link is a Custom link.
d: The link is a Download link.
e: The link is an Exit link.

// Send a custom link
      s.tl(true,"o","Example custom link");

// Send a download link
      s.tl(true,"d","Example download link");

// Send an exit link
      s.tl(true,"e","Example exit link");

Based on this, the links will be cateogrised under Custom link report or download report.

Hey @Haritha_K - There are three types of link calls :

1)Download Link : The ‘Download link’ dimension reports the names of download links implemented on your site. This dimension is valuable when you want to learn more about visitor behavior around download links, such as:

2)Custom Link Call : The ‘Custom link’ dimension reports the names of custom links implemented on your site. This dimension is valuable when you want to understand the types of links visitors click the most. 

3)Exit Link
