Curious how that pixel works... do you have to mouse over it, seems like if it was that case would be a bad approach/design, one pixel versus 1366x768 (at least). Also I wonder that code sample you posted isn't complete (realize why) but I wonder if it has bound JS or how it works technically (all in the source)... do you still have to include a script... I should just Google it haha.
- StavrosK 9y agoGoogle Analytics just allows you to GET a URL to send an event, which that tracking pixel does. Interesting that it actually returns an image, though, I didn't know that.
- ge96 9y agoSo that runs once when the page loads? It's not a continuous/real time tracker? Feel free not to respond as I said I can just Google. Thanks though.

- jackgolding 9y agoNope it will fire again after 30 minutes but not continuously
- ge96 9y agoInteresting for my own tracking I was thinking the next logical step might be to use websockets but I'm not sure.
- StavrosK 9y agoI don't think the web pixel will, that just runs on page load, unless you have some fancy JS to do other things (but then you could just call the event directly).
- jackgolding 9y agoYeah you are right sorry thats the session that finishes, had it configured a different way on a certain site.

- coalescedfrog 9y agoThink it's been answered, but the link below might provide more information on tracking pixels/beacons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacon
- ge96 9y agoThanks for that, I've seen/heard of tracking pixels but haven't tried them yet.
