/****************************************************************************** Author & Copyright: Brian J Clifton Url: http://www.advanced-web-metrics.com This script is NOT free to use Hack for Google Analytics auto-tracking of external links - tracked as /outbound/url-of-external-site file downloads - tracked as /downloads/filename mailto: - tracked as /mailto/email-address-clicked PLUS: Event trigger so that single page visits of >30 seconds are not treated as bounces VERSION: v1.20, 26-June-2011 USAGE: For use with ga.js(async) only. You need to do 3 straightforward things for this to work: 1. Install this script in your website root directory and reference it in your GATC - as decribed at http://www.advanced-web-metrics.com/blog/auto-tracking-file-downloads-outbound-links/ 2. Replace the domain listed on line 49 (shown as YOUR-DOMAIN.COM) to your website domain - only use your main domain. Do not include a subdomain e.g. www., shop., secure., - unless you specifically wish to restrict the operation of this script to a subdomain only 3. Scroll down and modify the function addLinkerEvents to meet your requirements: function init(){ addLinkerEvents(a,b,c,bounceTime,localDomains));} ; where: a = 1 or 0, use Event Tracking for external links (1), or use virtual Pageview tracking (0) b = 1 or 0, use Event Tracking for file downloads (1), or use virtual Pageview tracking (0) c = 1 or 0, use Event Tracking for mailto links (1), or use virtual Pageview tracking (0) bounceTime = 30 seconds, uses Event Tracking for single page visits >30 secs, or do not modify (0) tracked as a "dummy" event category=Non-bounced, action=30 secs i.e. this not intended for analysis any other value will be treated as 30 seconds localDomains = your web domain e.g. your-domain.com do not specify a subdomain unless you only wish to include this DISCLAIMER: All scripts presented have been tested and validated by the author and are believed to be correct as of the date of publication or posting. The Google Analytics software on which they depend is subject to change, however; and therefore no warranty is expressed or implied that they will work as described in the future. Always check the most current Google Analytics documentation. UPDATES: v 1.20 - added case checking so that e.g. *.PDF and *.pdf files are tracked v 1.10 - fixed 'timeout' undefined error that was stopping the bounce rate modifier working correctly - added a catch for bookmarked links to be ignored - previously logged as 'undefined' ******************************************************************************/ /** * Thanks to Nick Mikailovski (Google) for initial discussions and Tomas Remotigue for additional development. * trackEvents - true uses event tracking, false uses virtual page views */ var _0x57df=["\x67\x6F\x6F\x67\x6C\x65\x2D\x61\x6E\x61\x6C\x79\x74\x69\x63\x73\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D","ga-experts.com","\x6F\x6E\x6C\x6F\x61\x64","\x2E\x64\x6F\x63","\x2E\x78\x6C\x73","\x2E\x70\x70\x74","\x2E\x65\x78\x65","\x2E\x7A\x69\x70","\x2E\x74\x78\x74","\x2E\x70\x64\x66","\x20\x73\x65\x63\x73","\x5F\x67\x61\x71\x2E\x70\x75\x73\x68\x28\x5B\x27\x5F\x74\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x45\x76\x65\x6E\x74\x27\x2C\x20\x27\x4E\x6F\x6E\x2D\x62\x6F\x75\x6E\x63\x65\x64\x27\x2C\x20\x6E\x65\x77\x74\x69\x6D\x65\x6F\x75\x74\x5D\x29\x3B","\x61","\x67\x65\x74\x45\x6C\x65\x6D\x65\x6E\x74\x73\x42\x79\x54\x61\x67\x4E\x61\x6D\x65","\x6C\x65\x6E\x67\x74\x68","\x6E\x61\x6D\x65","\x67\x65\x74\x41\x74\x74\x72\x69\x62\x75\x74\x65","\x6F\x6E\x63\x6C\x69\x63\x6B","\x75\x72\x63\x68\x69\x6E\x54\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x65\x72","\x69\x6E\x64\x65\x78\x4F\x66","\x5F\x74\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x50\x61\x67\x65\x76\x69\x65\x77","\x6D\x61\x69\x6C\x74\x6F\x3A","\x74\x6F\x4C\x6F\x77\x65\x72\x43\x61\x73\x65","\x68\x72\x65\x66","\x3A","\x73\x70\x6C\x69\x74","\x6D\x61\x69\x6C\x74\x6F","\x73\x65\x74\x41\x74\x74\x72\x69\x62\x75\x74\x65","\x2F\x2F","\x6F\x75\x74\x62\x6F\x75\x6E\x64","\x64\x6F\x6D\x61\x69\x6E","\x2F","\x64\x6F\x77\x6E\x6C\x6F\x61\x64\x73","\x3B","","\x5F\x67\x61\x71\x2E\x70\x75\x73\x68\x28\x5B","\x27\x5F\x74\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x45\x76\x65\x6E\x74\x27\x2C\x27","\x27\x2C\x27\x43\x6C\x69\x63\x6B\x27\x2C\x27","\x27","\x27\x5F\x74\x72\x61\x63\x6B\x50\x61\x67\x65\x76\x69\x65\x77\x27\x2C\x27\x2F","\x5D\x29\x3B\x20"];var localDomains=[_0x57df[0],_0x57df[1]]; function init(){addLinkerEvents(1,1,1,30,localDomains);} ; // set the above line according to the instructions above.
