Tracking Events with Google Universal Analytics

Question

I have added this code in my blog for click tracking:

<script>
var trackOutboundLink = function (url) {
   ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, {
      'hitCallback': function () {
         document.location = url;
      }
   });
}
</script>

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="trackOutboundLink('http://www.example.com'); return false;">Check out example.com</a>

But Google Analytics is not showing any click. Maybe code is not working properly.

Will you please suggest me the issue with the code?

Answer 1

In your post here and on your example page, you used wrong quotation marks resulting in an error:

SyntaxError: illegal character

Change

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick=”trackOutboundLink(‘http://www.example.com’); return false;">Check out example.com</a>

to

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="trackOutboundLink('http://www.example.com'); return false;">Check out example.com</a>

Don't forget to make the changes on all links on your website.
