GA Event Tracking

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by Tarheel, Dec 1, 2014.

    This is the code I input into my website for an email link click:

    <a href="mailto:" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Email', 'Click', 'Email Link Click',, false]);"></a>

    It has not tracked anything yet....does the code look incorrect?

    I went to my GA dashboard and checked under Behavior > Events and it does not display any events.

    Yea that is the page I used to figure it out. I changed it to this:

    email: <a href="mailto:" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Email', 'Click',]);"></a>

    The other parameters were optional so I am assuming this will work.

    I wrote this a few months ago. I think this is really helpful for anyone trying to get into event tracking. Could be tricky depending what version of code you are using.
