For some reason GA's goals doesnt work properly. Not all hits to the page I designated seem to register as a goal to GA. So Im looking for an alternative that can: - count clicks on outbound links (to another site) - has something similar to GA's goals - can measure the conversion rate for a certain group of visitors Ive taken a look at a few like pmetrics and getclicky but they cant track outbound clicks.
How to track external sites using Google analytics? Google analytics registers unique goals. If a unique visitor completes the Goal 5 times, it will show as one Goal in GA. If you want to track all multiple conversions enable Ecommerce tracking in GA. This will show all individual conversions. count clicks on outbound links (to another site) You can track all the outgoing links with Google analytics using "pageTracker._trackEvent". You have to add this evet to all external links you want to track. This creates an invisible page and then redirects to destination page. More help on tracking: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html can measure the conversion rate for a certain group of visitors What group of visitors you want measure? by city, by source? Can you reply with more details. I have implemented event tracking to measure the outgoing traffic to certain sites that I want to measure. After setting up event tracking all you got to do is add another Goal or create another profile with a filter to include traffic to the destination page. Hope it helps!
