Website Tracking

Website Data overview

Underneath the Content Dashboard you’ll find the Website Data table, which is where you can view content changes for individual pages.

Note that the date range and any vertical tags you’ve selected will filter the data shown in the table. You can change these settings back up in the Content Dashboard section.

Table Rows

Click on any data row in the table to open a quick overview of up to the last five days of content changes inside the HTML elements on that page. Click the View Page button to see exactly which elements were changed and where.

DataNoodle tracks all HTML elements. Some that you might see include:

• <title> – The page’s title.
• <description> – The page’s meta description.
• <h1> to <h6> – Headings and subheadings of content sections on the page. Very handy to monitor for SEO purposes.
• <p> – Paragraphs that hold the page’s main text content.
• <img> – Image content on the page.
• <video> – Video content on the page.
• <a> – Anchor text (links) on the page. Another important one for SEO, as link text often features targeted keywords.

You can sort the order of data rows by clicking the up/down arrows next to column headers. The sorting options are:

• Website – Name of website as set up in your Ecosystem (forward or reverse alphabetical).
• Edits – Number of content changes detected (high to low or low to high).
• Status – The page’s HTTP status code meaning (forward or reverse alphabetical).
• Status Code – The page’s HTTP status code (forward or reverse numerical).
• Last crawled – Date that DataNoodle last crawled the page (most or least recent)
• Last edited – Date of the last detected change (most or least recent).

Table Filters

You can apply different search modes to narrow your results by using our advanced filters. To reset a filter after making a search, click the refresh icon beside it.

Title

Title here refers to the meta title of a web page. In Google’s search results, a web page title is shown as the blue link that you click to visit that page. Titles often contain keywords, to increase the chance of appearing in Google’s results for those keyword searches.

You can also see the title of a web page by hovering your mouse over its browser tab. For example, the title for this page you’re on now is “DataNoodle: Website Tracking Tool – Do Data Right”.

• Is – Returns an exact match for the entered page title text.
• Contains – Returns pages with the entered text in any position within the title.
• Starts With – Returns pages with titles that start with the entered text.
• Ends With – Returns pages with titles that end with the entered text.

URL

URL is another term for a web page address. For example, the URL of this page is https://datanoodle.com/features/website-tracking/.

• Is – Returns the result for an exact URL.
• Contains – Returns URLs that partially match the entered text. Can be useful for finding product pages within a certain category. For instance, entering “curtain” could return results like https://examplestore.com/products/blue-and-white-floral-curtains.
• Starts With – Returns URLs that start with the entered text. Note that you must enter the entire beginning of the URL to get results, including the http:// or https:// or www prefixes.
• Ends With – Returns URLs that end with the entered text.

Status and Status Code

The Status Code column shows the HTTP response code for the page, and the Status column defines the code’s meaning. For example, the status code “200” means that the status is “OK”, as in the page is loading successfully.
