Documentation: Calls Reference

_trackPageview (new in v2.1.2!)

This gaAddons calls enhances the default _trackPageview to offer the possibility of specifying your own page title. This does not affect the regular calling syntax - gaAddons will detect if you are passing an object and will handle it accordingly.

Scenario

There are a couple of situations where specifying your own title instead of the default one is critical go enhance your analysis capabilities:

  • The document titles are great for SEO but not suitable as a good taxonomy. In this case, using a the breadcrumb or a parsed URL might be more suitable.
  • The document titles are too long for easy analysis. In this case, it is often possible to remove some extraneous and unnessary information from the title.
  • You have a large library of PDF documents and you want to track document titles instead of the page title where the document is linked from.

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', {
	url: 'any URL', // optional
	title: 'any title' // optional
	}]);
