Robot tracking

Posted by SP [September 6, 2006]

I have read on these forums and on the MT documentation that robot tracking is not possible when using the JavaScript tracking method.

I think, however, that having the JavaScript code being executed on the server first (through ASP or ASP/NET) and adding a random number or some other suitable query string on the image URL of the noscript part of the code will very easily solve this problem.

Am I correct on this?

Robot tracking

The vast majority of robots will not load images (nor will they execute javascript) so tracking robots with javascript or basic image tracking is not possible.

Then, perhaps, an iframe whose source is again track.asp?
