In this example,
pattern
needs to be populated with the internal campaign pat-
tern as described in chapter 3, “enterprise campaign tracking.”
Finally, if for campaign purposes you need to record a different url in reports
than the one displayed in the address bar, you can use the
_S_URL
variable:
version 4
var _S_URL=”http://www.mysite.com?campaign=pattern”;
version 5
YWATracker.setUrl(“http://www.mysite.com?campaign=pattern“);
this code overwrites the url as recorded by Yahoo! and therefore changes the
reports.
Setting Up External Data Sources
I think it is appropriate to end this part of the topic with the inal frontier, external
data. Yahoo! Web Analytics provides an external data sources framework, which
enables you to integrate data from external sources with your existing analytics data.
the ability to collect external data is not accessible by everyone. If you don't
have it now but later gain access to this feature, it might look different from how I
describe it here. But this discussion should help you understand how to use the exter-
nal data sources feature.
