Is there any way to make Google Analytics’ “In-Page Analytics” show external link traffic?
As it is, pageviews for external links are showing up in the traffic reports, but not the in-page analytics.
We’re using links like this:
<a target="_blank" id="waitPanel" href="http://externallinkhere.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('Header Ext Link')">Button Text</a>
No you can’t do it.
The in-Page Reports tries to find the links on the page. So if you’re sending this “Header Ext Link” GA will understand that this is a url and will try to find that url in one of the links href attribute in the page. Of course it never will.
