TODO

• Add a new section in the admin panel called Reports which will contain the above mentioned 2 reports namely -
  • Real time click counts (showing how many links the user has seen or clicked in a session)
    • user - number of links seen - number of links clicked
  • User link interaction report (showing what links the user was presented and what he did with them)
    • user - link type (genuine/fake) - link url - original link url (for links of type fake) - link short url - link_clicked (boolean) - number of times clicked
• Add 3 new fields to the existing LinkModel
  • is_clicked_event_from_ground_data (this field will be set to true when the user clicks on the link during the facebook session).
    NOTE: this is different from the existing field is_clicked in LinkModel which denotes the link clicks from the user's self reported survey data. As discussed, the idea here is to keep these two pieces of information different to be able to draw more conclusions on the disparity between the ground and reported data in the future which is a little misty for now.
  • is_clicked_event_from_ground_data_time (this field will record the time of when the above event took place)

Currently there is no way to track if the user clicked on a particular link while scrolling their FB timeline. The only time click tracking happens is when the user is asked if they clicked a particular link while taking the survey.

The proposed solution is to have the user click on a shortened proxy link so that the clicks can be counted. For instance, https://www.youtube.com/hhf987hhfd will be replaced with https://seng-research.com/trackClick/ and a counter is incremented when the bounce happens.

We should do this for both fake awa genuine link types
