The settings defined in the profile, such as the configured weightings for particular behavior patterns of visitors, are reflected in the ‘Visitor Engagement’ column. The KPIs displayed for the analysis likewise correspond to those selected in the profile.
2.1.16.2. Overview and configuration of visitor engagement
The overview page provides an overview of the profiles and folders already created and also lets the user select them for viewing. Using this page, folders and profiles can be created, edited, deleted and moved. A move is performed by using drag and drop in the tree view in the left column of the overview. To create folders and profiles, use the corresponding buttons.
When creating or editing a profile, the user accesses the configuration page. Here, particular behavior patterns of visitors can be assigned a weight for the analysis. The profile name, a description and a category can likewise be defined here. When a category is selected, the values for the ‘Visitor Engagement Factors’ are automatically filled in accordance with this category. This ensures a standardized analysis for particular areas. Whenever you manually change a setting, the category is automatically switched to ‘Custom’.
In the ‘Visitor Engagement Factors’ section, the user can define the various factors used for the analysis. The meaning of the individual settings and how they affect the analysis is explained further down.
In the ‘KPIs’ section, you can choose which KPIs you want displayed for the statistics. To calculate the visitor engagement score, a formula comprising various indices is used.
The individual indices are briefly explained below:
Click Depth Index:
All visits with more than the defined page impressions are counted, divided by the total number of visits and then multiplied by the defined factor.
Recency Index:
All visits with more than the defined page impressions that led to return visits within the defined time period are counted. The end value of this time period is always the end time of the current scale interval; to obtain the start value, the defined weeks are subtracted from the end time. The counted visits are divided by the total number of visits and multiplied by the defined factor.
Duration Index:
All visits with more than the defined visit time are divided by the total number of visits and then multiplied by the defined factor.
Loyalty Index:
All visits that led to more frequent return visits than defined are divided by the total number of visits and multiplied by the defined factor.
Brand Index:
All visits that landed directly on the website or through a search engine are counted, divided by the total number of visits and multiplied by the defined factor.
Feedback Index:
All visits that visited the defined milestone are counted, divided by the total number of visits and multiplied by the defined factor.
Interaction Index:
All visits that visited the defined milestone are counted, divided by the total number of visits and multiplied by the defined factor.
WMScore:
The ‘wm_score’ value is totaled for the selected time period and multiplied by the defined factor. The value for ‘wm_score’ is set in the pixel-code and is stored for the respective click.
Calculation of the value displayed in the analysis:
The individual factor values calculated are totalled and divided by the number of activated factors. The higher the value that is calculated here, the better the analyzed time period can be classified.
Note that through use of the WMScore factor, the results can be disproportionately inflated.
The statistics under this option provide information about the origin and behavior of visitors, along with an overview of the last visitors to the website.

This page will allow a user to view and create certain statistics. The statistics that the user can view in this section include:
The statistics and pages for this menu item provide information on companies that have visited the website or certain milestones.
The Notifications Overview provides an Overview of all Notifications. Here it is possible to take a look at the existing Notifications, edit or delete them.
This page gives the user the option of carrying out settings to enable the automatic sending of email notifications (to one or several e-mail addresses). This ensures that they are notified as soon as a (specific) company has visited a specific area or milestone of their website.
To create the new notification:
•Select the folder in which the notification will be located.
•Click “New notification”.
•Fill in the offered fields.
In order to create a notification, several inputs are required. In the field “notification-name” correspondent names for the notifications can be assigned. In the field “status” the user can configure if a notification will be sent.(active = notification will be sent, inactive = notification will not be sent).The user can also choose a language for your notification. Notifications will be sent to one or several e-mail addresses. Every e-mail address has to be separated by comma.
In the fields “e-mail Subject” and “E-mail bodytext” text can be written, which will be sent in the e-mail. The user can insert one or several companies in the field “Companies”. The Button “Add Selection” adds a new edit line. In order to delete one or several companies, just click the Button “Remove”. The Areas or milestone, for which the notifications will be sent, can be chosen in the corresponding fields.
In the field “Creation-Interval” you can configure if the notification will be sent to them instantly or daily. Fields marked with an asterisk (*), are mandatory fields.
• Click “Save”.
This page provides a chronological overview of the companies which are currently online on the website. Furthermore it provides the same functionality as the statistic 'Company Visits Chronolog.
4.1.4. Company Visits Chronolog
As well as providing a chronological overview of the companies that have visited the website, this page allows the user to purchase further information about these companies.
To view the information, select the date range. The information is presented in the form of a diagram or a table. The table contains information on whether the companies had already previously visited the website, how long they stayed on the website and how many page impressions (PI) they made.
This page provides a complete overview, sorted by visits, of the companies that have visited the website. To view the information, select the date range. The information is presented in the form of a diagram or a table. The table contains information about the number of visits and how many page impressions (PI) they have made.
This page provides a complete overview of the branches from the companies which visited the website. To view the information, select the date range. The information is presented in the form of a diagram or a table.
This page provides a complete overview of the size of the companies which visited the website. To view the information, select the date range. The information is presented in the form of a diagram or a table.

By clicking in the map it is possible to zoom deeper into detail and get an overview about the countries, regions and cities from where the companies originate.
The statistics for this menu item provide the functionality to do a heatmap- and overlay analysis on the website.
Overlay/Heatmap
This analysis opens your website and allows you to apply an overlay or a heatmap analysis to it. When the page is open, a popup dialog appears, showing the current settings (such as time period, filter, etc.) for the analysis. In this popup window, you can also select the form of analysis, in other words, whether they want to apply an overlay or a heatmap analysis to the website.
The two analyses are briefly described below:
Overlay analysis
This visualization feature is a function that is placed like a slide over the website to display the usage behavior graphically on the page. With the overlay analysis, the usage frequency of active elements such as forms, links or buttons is displayed as a transparent overlay of graphics or text directly on the website. This tool lets the user see at a glance, for example, which links are less appealing to visitors and what impact changes in navigation have on user behavior. This innovative visualization tool is an ideal addition to workflow analyses and visitor questionnaires and replaces expensive and time-consuming usability studies.
Heatmap analysis
This visualization feature is a function that is placed like a slide over the website to display the usage behavior graphically on the page. But unlike with the overlay analysis, a heatmap of clicks is displayed here, which lets the user find out the most-clicked locations on the web page.
This is useful in two respects: to get an overview of the clicks for active elements such as forms, links or buttons, but also to get an overview of non-dynamic elements. This could be useful to identify which non-active elements visitors clicked particularly frequently – for example, a graphic which was mistaken for a link.
This statistics under this menu item let you compare data and statistics.
This page provides a comparison for two sets of statistics. On the one hand, they can compare the same statistic with different periods. (e.g. Visitors of a particular day with the visitors of the previous day or previous week.) On the other hand, they can compare two statistics of a different type. Thus, it is possible to compare the visitors of a region with the visitors of a country. Additionally you can compare the visits of different areas of a website. They have to choose the statistics for comparison, which shall be analyzed. Afterwards they can choose the wanted period in the calendar. Optionally different settings can be done in the segmentation panel. The data can be presented in the form of a diagram or a table. The user can switch between the various views using the ‘Chart’ and ‘Table’ tabs.
The Site ‘Individual statistics’ provides the possibility to create and edit own statistics. It is possible to include unique requirements to your self-made statistic. (e.g. weather information, Information about languages, etc.)
The individual Statistic provides the possibility to create any number of statistics and customize them to your personal needs. The user now has the ability to generate new parameters in the pixel-code and not only make use of fixed parameters. On the Side Overview, new individual statistics can be created and existing ones can be edited or deleted. (Except the not deletable, predefined parameters wm_visit1; wm_visit_2; and wm_click1;). The parameter has to be named in the way it is described in “Create new individual statistics”. A click on the Pixel-Button ( ) calls up the correspondent code. The statistic configuration can (if wished) be activated only for the administrator.
In this section, you can enter FTP login credentials in order to connect to the webspace for installation individual statistics.
4.3.2.3. Create new individual statistics
To create an individual statistic:
1. Click on the Button “Add new statistic”.
A dialog displays the individual statistic can be created.
2. In the upper box “statistic name” the name of the statistic will be inserted. This can also be translated to other languages, if the application is used multilingual.
3. Choose the parameter type.
It differs between click-based and visit-based statistics. Thus realizes statistics, which are displaying additional information with every click.
The visit-based parameter allows the collection of additional values, but only the one of the last click of the visitor. E.g.: Visualization, if a Visitor was logged in.
4. This step completes every parameter, which will later be inserted in the area “own parameters”. The Parameter must be completed with integers. E.g. „wm_indiv_stats.wm_click_1“. The generated Code can be called up with a click on the Pixel-Button ( ) and then copied for the installation in the pixel-code.
5. Now, an additional Explanation can be applied for every particular statistic, which will be displayed in the statistic side by clicking the light bulb icon. This text can also be applied in different languages like the statistic name.
5. Settings
This page allows you to configure the application and personal account, as well as add and edit users, groups and customers.
This menu item contains tabs for configuring the application, the own account and for installing the pixel-code. This page allows you to apply general settings for the count server. There is also an option of setting cookies for visitors in order to better identify returning customers. You can also set a cookie for yourself, so as not to be counted. If you do not want visits from particular IP addresses to be counted, you can exclude them by specifying these IP addresses.
Here, youcan delete stored data. You can delete either all collected data or only data of a specific period. Warning: Deleted data cannot be recovered!
5.1.2. Internal Search This page allows youto configure an internal search. If an internal search has been configured, it can be hidden/shown on the ‘Search engines’ page by using the option buttons. Information on setting up the internal search may be found directly on the ‘Internal Search’ page.
This page lets a user download a ready-made customized pixel-code for the logged-in account. Here, a distinction is made between non-Flash and Flash-based web pages. For detailed instructions on how to integrate the available code, see ‘Integrating the pixel-code’.
This page provides information on additional configuration options of the pixel-code. Detailed instructions may be found under ‘Integrating the pixel-code’.
Enter your FTP login credentials in order to connect to your webspace.
5.1.4.2. Install/Uninstall the Additional Parameters
Here you can Install/Uninstall the additional parameters to/from your files and folders you would like/you would not like to be tracked.
Manually Setting Page and Group Name
The Analytics counting code automatically infers the name and group of a web page from the URL. However, you can instead set own names for each page and page group. You may install and configure the Manually Setting Page and Group Name feature via this section. If you set own page or group names, we recommend that you use short and informative terms.
They should contain information about the page/area in which you are currently located (for example, login or index.html). Several other information like country and language can also be added, if required. The name may not contain empty spaces and the information must be separated by '|' for wm_page_name and '/' for wm_group_name.
If you want to use special characters, these characters need to be URL-encoded in the noscript part of the pixel code. For example, use '+' instead of spaces and '%E4' instead of 'ä' etc.
With Analytics, you can measure the effectiveness of your online advertising campaigns. You may install and configure this feature via the Campaign Tracking section.
To see for example which banner ad your visitor clicked on to reach your site, please add a parameter to the link from the banner to your site. The parameter should look like this: ?campaign_id=KAMPAGNENNAME
Replace "MY_CAMPAIGN" by a word that helps you to identify your ad campaign. You can identify different campaigns by choosing as many different words as you like.)
Next, you need to tell the counting code what parameter to watch and report. You can do this by adding the line wm_campaign_key="campaign_id" to the counting code between the lines "// Begin own parameters." and "// End own parameters." If you are already tracking your campaigns with a different parameter in the URL, you can use this parameter instead of "campaign_id".
5.1.4.3. Other Additional Parameters
Obtain the help files related to other additional features that can not be installed automatically but can be installed manually.
Flashpixel
This page provides information on integrating the pixel-code into Flash-based websites. For detailed instructions on how to integrate the available code, see ‘Integrating the pixel-code’.
A/B Test
These statistics allow a user to create an A/B test for visits and milestone visits. A/B testing is a way of running alternatives against each other to see which gives the better result. As well as carrying out the technical implementation, it is essential to clearly formulate the alternatives and the success criteria, and to then act accordingly.
Therefore, two things are key to successful implementation:
1. Alternatives are compared that differ in one characteristic (for example, the text of a banner).
2. The success criterion is clearly established (for example, alternative A achieves a higher click rate than alternative B).
A/B tests can be used for virtually all contents of a website, for example:
- Phrasing/wording, texts or labels
- Pricing, costs and terms of shipping, returns and service offers
- Navigation (arrangement or sequence)
- Graphical design (colors, shapes, size proportions, positioning)
- Specific functions (PDF downloads, print version, etc.)
Milestone-Tracking
With Analytics you can set your own milestones at important places of your website and generate special analysis (e.g. a funnel-analysis) with it. To do this, you have to add a new line between the lines "// Begin own parameters." and "// End own parameters."
This line could look like this:
wm_milestone="Milestonename"
Now you just have to replace "Milestonename" with a name chosen from you.
Tracking of File Downloads
With Analytics, you are not only able to track websites, you can also track file downloads, outbound links or any other event on the website. To do this, the counting-code must be integrated in the same website as the download link. The following onClick-event should be added to the download link (or to events like: onClick, onMouseOver, etc.):
onClick="wiredminds.count('Filename.Fileformat')"
The title of the file can be chosen freely. Please assure to append the filetype. If the link is no download but an outgoing link, of course no filetype is required. Further information can be also found in the online-help sites.
Tracking Events
The pixel-code makes it possible to track various events triggered by a user. An event is not regarded as a normal page impression, but can be used for different kinds of actions (for example, the playing of a movie). Through special statistics such as "Events", the data thus tracked can be analyze.
When the event is executed, the function wiredminds.trackEvent('EventName') must be called up. In the case of a simple link, this can be implemented using an "onClick" event, for example.
onClick="wiredminds.trackEvent('Movies/Action/Movie1/PlayMovie')
Note that hierarchical categories can also be set using the name. This is done using the "/" separator. If the name of the event were "Movies/Action/Movie1/PlayMovie", the "PlayMovie" event would be located at the lowest level of the "Movies->Action->Movie1" hierarchy.
5.1.5. Settings for data protection
This page provides possibilities to apply settings for the data protection. According to the applied settings, the web analysis can be used compliant to data protection law or not.
For this, different settings can be applied. Therefore, it is possible for visitors to the website the possibility to exclude themselves from tracking. To do this, a code is offered which brings this functionality. Further information can be found at 'Grant visitors the possibility to exclude themselves from being tracked'.
Also, settings can be applied if the IP address of a visitor should be saved partially or not at all(which is compliant to data protection law), or to store the entire IP address (which isn’t compliant to data protection law). Additionally, settings can be made for using he IP address for geo localization or for the recognition of returning visitors.
