How do you track a click in Google analytics?

Answer 1

A click can be tracked in Google Analytics by using a javascript onClick event in the hyperlink. The following event should be added to the hyperlink to be tracked:

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ItemIdentifier', 'ActionIdentifier']);"

The ItemIdentifier should be changed to a unique value to identify what is being clicked. The ActionIdentifier should be changed to reflect the action being performed on the item - in this case, Click.

The final tag should be similar to this example:

Answers.com" title="WikiAnswers" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Wiki Answers Link', 'Click']);">Wiki Answers
