How to Add the Tracking Beacon to a Site with Dynamic Pages

By default, Act-On doesn't track query strings appended to URLs as separate pages. You can change this.

Some sites utilize query strings in the site URL to reference individual web pages rather than the typical 'folder' directories. For example:
www.company.com/ProductView?productId=4732
instead of
www.company.com/Products/4732 
Act-On assumes a query string appended to your URL doesn't need to be tracked as a separate page since referral information is often passed via query strings (so you wouldn't want to count each unique query string as a completely separate page). This behavior can be adjusted, however.

If you want to track visits to dynamically generated web pages (for example, your product catalog pages), you can specify the query parameters necessary to identify them. For example, in this URL: 
www.company.com/ProductView?productId=4732&date=20110502 
If the value productId determines the content served on the page, but date does not, then specifying productId will allow for correct page previews and tracking of page visits.

To specify these query parameters:

1. When signed in to Act-On, go to Inbound > Website Prospector.
2. At the top right, click More > Page Names.
3. Click Dynamic Pages.
4. In the Dynamic Pages of Interest dialog, enter each query parameter name, one per line, and click Submit. Confirmation appears.

Example

To capture individual visits to every productId in the URL:
www.company.com/ProductView?productId=4732&date=20110502
Since each product ID is a different product, specify productId as a query parameter as described in the steps above.
