Tracking scroll depth is interesting, but percentage isn't all that helpful. The number of comments on a blog post will mess with the data, for example (you won't be able to reliably compare Post A to Post B).
What might make more sense is tracking who scrolled down to the end of the .blog-post div, to the end of the .comments div, and to the end of the footer. Or whatever makes sense for the content on your page(s).
- onesecond 15y agoYes there are more exciting options. take a look at pagealizer reports http://www.pagealizer.com/?page=report&type=demo http://www.pagealizer.com/?page=report&type=demo and alenty reports http://www.alenty.com/en/demo/display-ads http://www.alenty.com/en/demo/display-ads
- robflaherty 15y agoAll engagement metrics are pretty loose. Scroll depth percentage doesn't tell the whole story but to the degree that scroll tracking is useful, I think percentage provides a simple, document-independent metric. Btw, tracking scroll points for specific DOM elements is one of the plugin options, so for instance you could track the end of the .comments div as you mentioned.
