What is Click-through Tracking?
What does 'Click-through Tracking' mean?
Click-through tracking is an analytical function that measures and reports where individuals click or tap on websites, apps, and emails. A click tracking tool uses software or tags to track mouse clicks and taps. This data is gathered and presented in several ways, including quantitatively, graphically (heat maps), and through individual sessions (session recordings). Click tracking tools are used by marketers, analysts, and user researchers to attribute conversions, measure user activity, and discover website failures and optimization opportunities. Click-through tracking generates a click stream from a series of page requests, and each page generates a signal. These signals are then collected, giving web admins a sense of what people are looking at or clicking on within a website.
