Track your dnn website page views through facebook pixel code


The Facebook pixel can be used for three main functions:
  1. Building Custom Audiences from your website for remarketing.
  2. Optimizing ads for conversions.
  3. Tracking conversions and attributing them back to your ads.

Benefits of using the pixel

With the Facebook pixel, you'll also be able to:
  • See rich insights: In Ads Manager you'll see a dashboard which gives you information on the traffic across your website.
  • Share your pixel: Useful when working with an agency or Facebook Marketing Partner. Instead of implementing a second pixel for your agency, you can share your existing pixel with them through Business Manager.
The pixel dashboard in Ads Manager.

The pixel code

The Facebook pixel code is made up of two main elements: the base code and the standard event code. The base code should be placed on every page of your website.
What the new code looks like on an add-to-cart page.


Standard events

The one part of the code you'll have to customize is the standard event section. There are 9 available standard events to choose from, such as "Add to cart" or "View Content". These represent the different types of actions people take on your website and only need to be placed on some pages.
