Hey Refreshers, I've been experimenting with various plugins and scripts to extend Google Analytics for tracking various behaviors like external link clicks, non-HTML file downloads and other trackable events and wanted to share this handy jQuery-based script by Joe Christopher of Blast Advanced Media:
http://www.blastam.com/blog/index.php/2011/04/how-to-track-downloads-in-google-analytics/ Before finding this, I was having to manually add tracking code to each URL or file I wanted to track. Some of my clients regularly have pages with multiple sponsors that they'd like to track clicks to. Joe's script is a catch-all solution for tracking file downloads and external and mailto link clicks. Reporting is available in the Content > Events section of Google Analytics. Hope someone else finds this as useful and time-saving as I have. Please forgive the repost on WordPress Austin, but I know some folks there will be interested as well.
