On a given page, in addition to normal GA call, I am making an event call, and what we call a “phantom URL” call. The normal call seems to be recorded in GA, I can run a report on it, but neither event call, nor a “phaontom url” call are recorded.

Here’s the javascript that I place on the page

    <!-- analytics events --><script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() {_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'interview', 'ask', 'labelone', 2]);_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/phantom/interview/ask']);});</script><!-- end analytics events -->

I can see in FireBug 3 requests to __utml.gif, all 3 look OK to me:

Regular call (I can see the requests in GA)

    Ok, figured out the problem. My _gaq didn’t have an account set on it, so 2nd and 3rd calls were goingout with 

    utmac=UA-XXXXX-X

    Code should look something like this:

    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-ACCOUNTNUMBER-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'interview', 'ask']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/phantom/interview/ask']);
