## I do not have the grades

Whatever you are studying, its easy to fall into a trap of thinking that your grades aren't good enough. While there are some employers who really care about your grades, there are plenty who don't. These employers are more interested in what you're like as a person, so any projects, experience or other activities you've done that demonstrate will help you stand out against rival candidates with better grades.

Link tracking

Google analytics

Google analytics needs tweaking, see support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920

Using google analytics and wanting to track outbound clicks (what are users clicking on)

In most analytics packages this is pretty straightforward and usually turned on by default, but in Google Analytics it looks like you have to add it

gtag.js vs analytics.js

Using gtag.js, rather than the olderanalytics.js

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs

Not clear where the best place to configure outbound links is

Some documentation suggests including extra functions In gtag.js e.g. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7478520 then add onClick attributes to all of my links.

It seems like a clumsy way of tracking links, what are the alternatives (if there any)?

For example configuring additional Google Analytics properties

gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID_2_FOR_CLICKTHROUGHS');

or adding an Event quote "Downloads, link clicks, form submissions, and video plays are all examples of actions you might want to analyze as Events." https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033068

How FSE works

We use Google Analytics (GA) on the various UoM/FSE sites we manage but we deploy via Google Tag Manager (GTM). At present we’re using both GA’s Universal Analytics (UA) and GA4 in parallel but Google intend to withdraw UA next July so it’s best to go with GA4 for any new implementation.

As for recording interactions such as clicks on outbound links, GTM allows us to set up various tags and triggers which ‘fire’ and record events in Google Analytics whenever a visitor interacts with the page, such as scrolling, playing a video, clicking a link, etc. Its JavaScript based but all the configuration is done within the GTM workspace so you don’t need to hard code ‘onclick’ events into pages. Most of the configuration can be done via predefined tags / triggers using ‘wizard’ type menus and interfaces but there’s facilities for writing your own tags and triggers if you prefer.

We also use Google Data Studio to create dashboards to summarise visitor activity. They’re infinitely customisable and dispense with the need to dig around in GA looking for evidence of a particular activity.
