Hi Christina,

You can use the event tracking code to track anything, including a click on a static image. The code for tracking a static image will be different than the code above because your data model for your events will be different than the data model I created for the example above.

If you’re just getting started with event tracking check out the first post in the event tracking series. It talks about setting up a data model before adding any code.

Thanks for the question,

Justin

I do agree about the insights for event tracking. My question is that. Does this event tracking code imply for tracking a click in a static image?.

Any word on the updated PDF? I loved your work on the first PDF but an updated one would make implementing the ga.js a lot easier :-)

Chad,

No news on when event tracking will launch, sorry!

Daniel,

I’m working as fast as I can to get the next version done! I’ll try to get you home for dinner as soon as I can. :)

Justin,

please do a favor to the world: RELEASE A NEW VERSION OF YOUR PDF!

You will make so many families happier: WA will arrive home earlier and play with their kids, enjoy their times with their husbands/wifes, have more time to spend on their hobbies, and so on. Christmas is coming…

Thanks!

Justin,

Do you have any insight as to when event tracking will be rolled out to the masses?

Thanks,

Daniel,

Event tracking is just a framework to track data. It’s so flexible that you can literally capture anything. However, the flexibility also makes the implementation difficult becuase you need to create the hierarchy of data before the implementation.

When event tracking is rolled out to masses I’ll start writing more about it and provide some examples.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the comment.

Gerard,

Great observation. Based on what I’ve seen, events will be an effective way to circumvent the 4 goal limit in GA.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the observation.

Hi Justin,

wonderful series, really helpful. But I share with Jahangir a doubt on how to implement/define . Please let us know whenever you have more information about that…

Thank you very much for sharing all that!

Hi Justin,

Event tracking seems much more powerfull than goals. Is there any possibilties it will replace goals in the near future ?
Is there any limitation on event tracking (goals are limitied to maximum 4 in GA)?
