Sorry – I guess I could have compressed it, but when we build our javascript, we compress many files into one, so it’s of no use to me

Using $.getScript will reload ga.js from google every time a page is requested. I fixed it by creating a function with the following code:

return jQuery.ajax({
type: “GET”,
url: gaScriptURL,
dataType: “script”,
cache: true,
success: function() { setupTracking(); }
});

The essential part is to pass parameter cache: true. Now, jQuery will not force reloading the script every time.

[a href="/order/?li=241&vi=167&act=add" class="upsellt" title="Classic+Wax+100g"][img src="/img/bYes.png" /][/a]

$.jGoogleAnalytics(
‘UA-123456-7′,
{
evalClickEvents: {
‘.upsellt’: “‘/upsell/true/’ + $(this).attr(‘title’)”,
‘.upsellf’: “‘/upsell/false/’ + $(this).attr(‘title’)”
}
}
);

And here’s the relevant HTML:

But I can’t see the upsell being logged anywhere in Google (but the page hits are).

Any ideas?

[ul class="upsell"]
[li][a href="http://example1.com"]Example 1[/a][/li]
[li][a href="http://example2.com"]Example 2[/a][/li]
[li][a href="http://example3.com"]Example 3[/a][/li]
[/ul]

…sorry for the square brackets

Your call to jGoogleAnalytics would be:

$.jGoogleAnalytics( 'UA-XXXXXX-X', evalClickEvents: {'.upsell a': "'/upsell/'+ $(this).text()"} );


This registers a click event for each anchor in the .upsell container, evaluates the link text and send it to GA.

The page impressions in GA for each link above would read:
/upsell/Example 1
/upsell/Example 2
/upsell/Example 3

Thanks for this, it looks like a good upgrade from Jason Huck’s code, I’m interested how I can track events that only happen on a single page (so shouldn’t be wired up throughout the site). e.g. Upselling, at the moment we do this onclick: javascript:urchinTracker(‘/upsold/false/Some-Item’);

Is that possible with your code?
