Hello,
I’ve installed secret Crush and it looks oh so close to what I need.
My goal is pretty simple. A client’s site that uses Mint wants to track what happens after people land on a particular page. He’s specifically interested in whether or not people sign up for an account.
But before I proceed, I have a few questions that I’m unclear on.
One of my concerns is downloading the information in secret crush for processing in something like Excel. I know I can download things from phpMyAdmin, but having looked at the tables, I gather that this wouldn’t group the information in any meaningful way. In other words, I would need to spend a lot of time trying to “regroup” the data so that pages showed up by user and in the correct sequence in order to make any sense of it? (In effect, I’d need to reproduce the same logic that Secret Crush is using to group these records from the database?) I’d also like to exclude (in my post-analysis) all the traffic that isn’t entering the site through a specific page.
Now the site already has a cookie that people get when they sign up for an account, and I’ve used it for Secret Crush. Would it be better to set a cookie on the specific page that users are landing at, perhaps with a unique ID, for following with secret crush?
Basically I think secret crush looks great, but I don’t see how to get at the information it’s collecting other than just casually drilling down on a few users in the web interface, which seriously lessens the value of the information.
Thanks!
