What you're looking to do is very easy:
$("a").click(function (){
pageTracker._link(this.href);
return false;
});
<a href="https://www.securecart.com/?store=parameters";>Purchase Now</a>
Or if you only wanted to track specific links:
$("a.track").click(function (){
pageTracker._link(this.href);
return false;
});
<a href="https://www.securecart.com/?store=parameters";
class="track">Purchase Now</a>
Also, I'm not sure how Google Analytics link tracking works, but just
remember that if JS is disabled, no tracking will occur.
