Online Appraisel Tool Tracking

[DrewAment]

I have a major online appraisal tool that a client currently has on their site. I wanted them to add a small bit of HTML code on the thanks/confirmation page (iframe tag with analytics) that would allow me to track conversations/etc. They say this is not possible (or they don't want to).

Besides the obvious of changing providers....What, if any solutions, is anyone using to track appraisal requests as conversions in their analytics? Ideas?

I think you can do some javascript with google analytics to track specific events like you are talking about. When someone clicks a specific image or button have it report to google analytics.

How do I manually track clicks on outbound links? - Analytics Help

Thanks Matt - that will get me the number of people that have "started" the appraisal - which I already have via pageviews.....I want the number of people that actually submitted a request

You can have an image hosted on your servers that is only on the "Thank you" page and each time that image is searved and the referring URL is the "Start" page you will have an accurate conversion ratio. The HTTP Log files will show to what IP the image was served. This is a crude way of accomplishing this however if the software provider can not offer you any solutions, they can not balk at you asking to host an image on the "Thank you for submission" page.
