Thread: Cannot track outbound links

Cannot track outbound links

Hi there,

I'm using the Google Analytics plugin from Yoast (which is great btw!), but it seems that the outbound links to Indeed jobs are not tracked as an event in Google Analytics.

What is going wrong? Has this something to do with je job_url in the job publish screen?

Hope to get help soon!

Thanks!

I have not used this plugin and unfortunately I can not help it at the moment.
I will move the thread to WordPress Plugin Exchange, so you can get help from the community.

Can anyone help me please?

Google Analytics includes a function you can use to track outbound links. This function essentially rewrites a link as the page you specify. Continuing my example above, if I wanted to track my Feedburner subscription link using Google Analytics, I would simply add the following JavaScript in my link (<a> tag):

onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/subscribe.php');"

Whenever someone clicked on that link, Google Analytics would log that click as a visit to the virtual page "subscribe.php". To use this feature, you do need the latest version of Google Analytics.
