Google Analytics (or alternatives) that can track downloads

While many suggest <a href="example-file" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker('/like-to-see-in/analytics');">demo</a>

This does not work with site overlays... Thus there is really no easy way to use Google Analytics for split testing etc...

Since almost everything in this world needs above (e.g. payment processor, download of program etc.) - that is hugely annoying!

What do you use for split testing? If for instance GA supported above with siteoverlay... It would be somewhat easier to test e.g. 2 different page designs, each with their own "tracker exit destinations"

 

You could include a js variable in the onclick generation:

in your overlay:

var overlay=1;

then in your mainline:

onClick="javascript:urchinTracker('/like-to-see-in/analytics'+overlay);"

 

The problem is that anything that uses the javascript:urchinTracker stuff isn't shown in Site overlay! Not in my site overlay anyways... Are they in yours?

 

The urchin isn't seen in my site overlay either, but if you are using a php program you may need something else.

 

Can anyone suggest something an alternative or solution?

I do not understand why they have not added support for it in site-overlay.

 

I can recommend CracyEgg ...
