Tracking XML, Podcasts, etc... in WebTrends

Had a hard time finding anything in the Webtrends documentation on RSS and Podcasts tracking so I just gave them a call. Here's what they had to say about the matter: Affected Environments: Webtrends Analytics 8.x Question: How can podcasts be tracked with webtrends. Issue: A link to a podcast is generally an XML file pointing to the location of the download. Resolution: By implementing SDC, and putting a call to the dcs.gif file in the podcast Description (XML file) so that the DCSURI=PODCAST:/location, the podcast will put a hit in the SDC logs when it's downloaded. No modification to the js tag is necessary. DCSMultitrack is not necessary. Results will be seen in the Pages report. EXAMPLE: add the dcs.gif call IMG SRC =" http://statse.webtrendslive.com/dcsttpy38dbdgj15hs4peh2gr_7t5l/dcs.gif?dcsuri=PODCAST:/WhitepapersAndGuides/&WT.ti=PODCAST:/WhitepapersAndGuides/MeasuringWeb20Technologies&dcssip=www.webtrends.com&wt.rss=aggregatorRequest&dcsext.podcastn
