    I have a page for charging with Paypal. How could set my GA to track the activity when someone click the "Paypal" icon and then redirect to the paypal website??

    Thanks a lot !

    I do not think you can do that, as that would be out of Google Analytics reach. I have not used Paypal, but maybe PayPal provides some statistics or analytics?

    You can use event track - making clicking the paypal button as the 'event'

    O really? That would be cool. Forgive my ignorance, but could you please explain how do we do this? I am also interested in this. I thought we couldn't.

    I made a reply on a post not long ago regarding tracking event. You can visit it here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1862743

    Basically all you need to do is replace the code I posted on that thread to something like:

    
<input type="submit" name="paypal" id="paypal" value="Check out with Paypal" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'External Site', 'Paypal']);" />
    Code (markup):
