Request summary:
Would like an improved ability to track page real estate (e.g. in-house 
promotions, onsite campaigns, nav bars, etc) usage.

Use Cases:
Currently we can track where people are clicking on site pages by using the 
clickmap overlay or event tracking. The former doesn't work well for pages that 
change frequently and the latter can involve quite a bit of implementation 
work.  One workaround is to re-appropriate the Site Search query string to 
identify links, but this sub-optimal as it has to live in a different profile 
and confuses users by being called "site search" when it's not.  So I would 
like to see a new set of query strings especially designed for tracking page 
real estate, e.g utm_section and utm_link.
