#gaTrack
jQuery plugin for Google Analytics Event Tracking
Track events using data elements
<a data-category="Downloads"
data-action="Left Click"
data-label="Monthly Statement"
href="monthly.csv">
Download Monthly Statement
</a>
#Example code If we have the following HTML
<a class="track" href="http://google.com">Goto Google</a>
<a class="track" id="TopLogin" data-category="Website Logins" href="/login">Login</a>
<a class="track" id="signupBtn" data-label="Sign Up" data-action="click" data-category="Website Singups" href="/signup">Signup</a>
We setup or default tracking settings
var settings = {
"category" : "External Links",
"action" : "Clicked",
};
$('a.track').gaTrack(settings);
Now when we click on the links the following data will be tracked
Link | Category | Action | Label |
---|---|---|---|
External Links | Clicked | ||
Login | Website Logins | Clicked | TopLogin |
Signup | Website Singups | click | Sign Up |
