print "<br/>".l($item->name, $item->offerURL, array(), NULL, NULL, TRUE);

Answer 1

You have to be careful with your single and double quotes. On that line, you have

'<a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['

That opens and closes your string. the _trackPageview then causes the error, as it is not part of the string.

You can try something like (untested) below:

print '<a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push([\'_trackPageview\', \'/outgoing/article_exit_link/789591\']);" href="\'.$item->offerURL.\'"><img src="\'.$item->imageList->image[0]->sourceURL.\'" width="100"></a>';

By adding a \ before each ‘, you escape it so that it is considered part of your string.
