Google Analytics hits counter

Did you know that using Google Analytics you can easily measure clicks on outgoing links? Whenever I mention to someone that person will be surprised that it is possible that he never even knew this option existed. It is a very simple implementation, it added onclick JavaScript effect, provided that you have inserted Google Analytics code on your site. For example, if you want to measure how many people clicked on the link to Example.com domain, just add this effect in this way:



For any other link, add the same code only changing the parameter to the end. For example, if the links Google.hr, instead of / outgoing / example.com put / outgoing / google.hr. In the statistics data on the number of hits will appear under Top Content, where you can see the exact number of clicks. All other information you have about the implementation of the Google Analytics Help: How do I manually track clicks on outbound links?

In addition to these methods there is the option of Site Overlay, which is located in the main menu under the Content Overview where there is also hovering over a link information on the number of clicks, but how I see it only applies to links within the domain for external links displayed neatly 0, but It can serve as a good tool.
