title: Multiple links pointing to the same location. Track which one was clicked using Google Analytics
body: <p>I'm trying to get Google Analytics to track the specific link in the page that was used by the users to get to a specific location.</p>
  
  <p>Say I have links poing to the contact page from the main menu, the page's contents and the footer.  </p>
  
  <p>Looking at what other websites are doing, I've added references inside GET parameters for each of the links like so: <a href="http://www.example.com/contact?ref=menu" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/contact?ref=menu</a> , <a href="http://www.example.com/contact?ref=content" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/contact?ref=content</a> and <a href="http://www.example.com/contact?ref=footer" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/contact?ref=footer</a> . I've also added the ref parameter to the ignore list inside Google Analytics so the three URLs are not tracked as separate pages.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My question now is: How sould I go about tracking which one was used to get to the contact page?</strong></p>
