    Hi, I have a google analytics account set up. And is working fine. I was wondering is it possible using GOALS to track when an image icon is clicked and the user is redirected to an external site? I can get the internal ones working no problem, its just external one's i am having the problems with.

    ????

    You only have 4 goals per profile, so I wouldnt use a goal for something like this.

    You can track any link onsite by adding the following
    <a href="http://www.example.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/example.com');">

    That will track "/outgoing/example.com" as a page view which will show up in your GA reports.

    Big thanks for that. I will give it a lash and hopefully that'll do it.
