I asked this question inside a thread, and received no responses, so I figured I might get better luck starting a new thread (sorry for the duplication):
I have a Google Analytics question that deals with WhyPark.com. If you look at the HTML Source code on a WhyPark page (when you view source from your web browser) you will notice that their are two different Google Analytics tracking scripts (WhyPark adds it own Google Analytics Tracking sctipt-This is in addition to the Google Analytics code that you add yourself). I think WhyPark’s Analytics code might be the cause of my issue:
I cannot use the Google Analytics Goal Tracking to create a goal that leads to an external website. For instance if I have a link to cnn.com on my WhyPark site, I want to set up a Google Analytics goal to see how many people click the link.
According the Analytics Help Page, all you have to do is make sure your Analytics code is above to link and add this piece of JavaScript to the link:
<a href="http://www.example.com" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker('/G1/example_com');">
You can then add this fake page /G1/example_com as a Goal, and you should be able to track it. I have done this, and the goal tracking simply will not work. My only guess is the extra Analytics code WhyPark automatically adds.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any luck with this process? Thanks!
