Hi, thanks for the visit - hope that you will find useful information. Leave a comment but if you have comments on the subject.

yes yes I know that this is actually already an old hat and has been a good month info floating around the web. And yes I know that probably is not exactly the best start to motivate someone to read on.

Anyway, recently I received a nice email from Google in Mountain View. In this I was told that this new event tracking is enabled on my account. This makes it possible to tracking of events on the site without having to create a virtual pageview need. Useful is the example for Ajax, Javascript or Flash applications. As with my box with the tabs in the left column at the top.

What do you need to

• It has the latest Javacsriptfile (ga.js) be included by Google.
• The Javascript must call each time to track the event can be defined.
• The whole thing is still in beta phase. So it can certainly come to misconduct. This feature has not yet activated on all accounts.
• A detailed documentation is here: http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/analytics/docs/eventTrackerGuide.html

Test Integration

To test the whole thing I have the code in the box to the right involved. So now the clicks on categories, RSS and search are counted. For this I have set the following code as the OnClick event on the links of each tab:

  pageTracker._trackEvent ("Tabbox", "Categories", "optLabel", 1);
 pageTracker._trackEvent ("Tabbox", "RSS", "optLabel", 2);
 pageTracker._trackEvent ("Tabbox", "Search", "optLabel", 3); 

Actually I do not need the last two optional parameters. But I have to test this with the same definition.

The result
Within Google Analytics can be found at the point Content a new entry "Event Tracking" with appropriate sub-items. The whole thing looks like this.

Advanced Integration
Fine addition to this expansion have come up with the boys and girls still think of Google, two additional methods for event tracking.

• Time Tracker ()

This feature makes it possible to measure time spans. could, for example, when a timer Click the Play button to start a video and click on the Stop the timer is stopped again. We obtain a statistic how long users can have the appropriate video viewed.

  <input onclick="javascript:timeTracker._recordStartTime();" type="button" value="Start" /> <input onclick = "javascript: timeTracker._recordEndTime ();" type = "button" value = "Stop" /> 

• MouseOverTracker ()

The MouseOver Tracker allows to track the first mouse over an element. This method has been developed to a large collection of data to avoid waste. With the normal event pageTracker would ultimately be tracked each mouseover.
