I’ve got a really hopefully simple question regarding Google Analytics. I’ve added tracking to a site and have set up Event Tracking for a link to an external page.

In the report suite under event tracking the event name comes up as the full URL for the external page. Code is below:

<a onclick="recordOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'https://www.externallink.com');return false;" href="https://www.externallink.com"><img style="padding-top:2px;" src="/common/images/ss_managemyaccount.gif" alt="" /></a>

Now daft as this may sound, is the name for the Event showing up as the URL because I have called it that? I.e. after 'Outbound Links', I have just used the URL? Could I call this whatever I wanted to? E.g. Hello or something like that?

Thanks

    You can use a Virtual Page View to call the link anything you like. If you post your recordOutboundLink() function, I can help you with that.
