Web Analytics For Silverlight

  • Article

I have been asked, "How can I really count who has watched my Silverlight video or application?"

The answer comes from the field of web analytics. One of the challenges of Rich Interactive Applications (RIAs) today is figuring out how the traditional measure of web usage, the page view, equates to the way people interact with RIA applications. Silverlight provides some interesting ways to count the interactions using Javascript page tags. And with Silverlight, you can add those tags after the video has been produced.

Michael Scherotter has posted a set of materials on his blog, Synergist. The materials include WhitePaper Web Analytics with Silverlight. The materials include a webinar on Silverlight and Web Analytics and a whitepaper in three formats:
