$(function(){
$(“a[rel=external]“).click(function(){
var domain = window.location.protocol + “://” + window.location.host;
var url = “/outbound/” + $(this).attr(“href”).replace(domain, ”).replace(“http://www.”, “”).replace(“http://”);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', url]);
});
});

This is using the asynchronous tracking code.

How do I find the results though? I have tried ‘Content’>’Top Content’>Filter with ‘Outgoing’ but still nothing.

Can you help?
best,
Jim

For all those wondering if you go to Content -> Top Content report you should be able to filter by /outgoing/ to see all your outbound pageviews.

Please note that this script will inflate your pageviews, so you may consider creating another profile and using a filter in Analytics to exclude pageviews in /outgoing/ if accurate pageviews is extremely important.

Cheers,
Gavin.

Do you mean that it will tack all the links which you send to other websites?

Thanks

var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“########”);
pageTracker._trackPageview();

I’m trying to track several hyper links that go to external sites. How would I go about that?

Thanks Brad

if (document.getElementsByTagName) {
var ahrefs = document.getElementsByTagName(‘a’);
for (var i=0; i<ahrefs.length;i++) {
if (ahrefs[i].href.indexOf(‘http://www.domain.com‘) == -1 && !ahrefs[i].onclick) {
ahrefs[i].onclick = function () {
pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outbound/’+this.href.substring(7));}
}
}
}

1- does this code work with both old and new style analytics code?

2- should this code go above or below the regular analytics code?

3- with the outbound link tracking code that google gives (where you have to tag each link individually), you have to put the main analytics code just after the opening (not closing ) since it has to execute first before the link tracking code. With your code you don’t have to do that?

Thanks. If I can get this to work it will save a ton of time.

Ok thanks for letting me know,

I just had to change some of the charaters within the script and it showed the code correctly in dreamweaver, I am still waiting to see if the results clarify.

This will work , there were a few funny characters within the script for some reason, when you put this in dreamweaver it WONT show blue anymore.

Great code though , thanks for posting it

Thanks,

Konrad

turns blue from ‘for var …all the way to…

i have the code there now and when testing my outbound links i dont see any stats (looking in the content drilldown section)

am i doing something wrong?
