Sometimes you would like to track outbound clicks on a website. This is called tracking events. To track events we need to add additional code in the outgoing <a href>. But first we need to add some additional Google script to our <head> section (under the normal tracking code). Paste this code under the main GA tracking code: Code:<script type="text/javascript">
function trackOutboundLink(link, category, action) {
try {
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', category , action]);
} catch(err){}
setTimeout(function() {
document.location.href = link.href;
}, 100);
}
</script>
Then add in each outbound link you want to track the next onclick function. Code:<a href="www.test.com" onClick="trackOutboundLink(this, '{Category}', '{Title}'); return false;">test</a>
For category you can use terms like outbound click or something; the title describes de link for example the name of the url you are going to link to. In Google Analytics you will see the outbound links in the 'Events' report.

if this function doesn't work: Code:<a href="www.test.com" onClick="trackOutboundLink(this, '{Category}', '{Title}'); return false;">test</a>
you might try Code:<a href="www.test.com" onClick="recordOutboundLink(this, '{Category}', '{Title}'); return false;">test</a>
