Upgrade the Anayltics with Oliver Hines module at
http://oliverhine.com/DotNetNuke/Modules/GoogleAnalyticsEvolved.aspx
Which generates this before the </body>…
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', "UA-4423739-1"]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.src = ('https:' ==
document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-
analytics.com/ga.js'; ga.setAttribute('async', 'true');
document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(ga); })();

2. Adding event tracking
By default the code is tracking page views.
But it can be enhanced to track clicks or any other event.
For example .. Place this anywhere in your code and it will add the event to the
Analytics call above..
<script type="text/javascript">
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', „EventCategory', „EventName', „Comment']);
</script>
When executed it will generate an event in analytics . More examples ..

3. Other event examples
Track a URL and an event in one. For example, place this on the thank-you page
for a form submission
<script type="text/javascript">
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/resumesubmitted.aspx‟]);
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Jobs', 'Viewed', 'Resume Submitted']);
</script>
NOTE : The url resumesubmitted.aspx does not have to be a REAL url. It can be
made up to describe the page you are on. Its used only by google for reporting
purposes.
More important … go to ANY <a href on your site, wether it be a link or a button
and add …
onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', „Categoryname', „Event', „Some comment']);“
Like
onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', „Blog', 'Click', „Blog Visit']);"

4. Analytics Reporting of Events
In analytics reporting, the links added with
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/Careers/AvailablePositons.aspx‟]);
Display in the “Content – Overview”
While the
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Jobs', 'Viewed', 'Resume Submitted']);
And
onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', „Blog', 'Click', „Blog Visit']);“
Display in the Content – Event tracking section of the analytics report.
In summary … using injected events with analytics can help one track almost any activity within any
page of the website.
