Abstract

Embodiments are provided for uniquely identifying and tracking selectable web page objects and presenting tracked activity for the selectable objects. In some cases, an analytics tool is used to collect and present link activity based on analytics data for a given selectable object of a content page, such as a clickable link or image. For example, a method analyzes a content page comprising a plurality of selectable objects and determines, based on the analyzing, a page identifier for the content page, and region identifiers for regions within the content page. The method generates, for each of the selectable objects, a unique object identifier comprising the page identifier, a region identifier corresponding to a region of the page where the object is located, and a link identifier. Link activity corresponding to the selectable objects is tracked and displayed, the link activity being based on measured analytics data over periods of time.
