You add the utm parameters to the links that are in your email. Then, when someone clicks on a link in the email the Google Analytics code that is embedded on your site tracks their activity, including where they came from, which is the email. Hope that clarifies things. @Ben: You don’t add the Google Analytics tracking code to your email. You add the utm parameters to the links that are in your email.

The problem is that there is no place to fire the JavaScript. You could try to put the JS in the HTML of the email but that is not very reliable. I would try the following: 1. Direct the visitor to some type of re-direct page. 2. On this page put a slight delay and execute the GA tracking code along with your event tracking code. 3. Then direct the visitor to the PDF.

I've been researching this for weeks now and trying to find a way to track a click to a PDF from an e-mail. The PDF is not on the website itself, so is this not possible? I've checked EventTracker, tried campaigns, but nothing seems to track the click. The latest I tried was adding this hyperlink to the e-mail: http://www. aac.joinvacation.com/training/NextStepsEZcruise.pdf" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/EZCNextSteps'); Because the PDF isn't on the site and you never actually hit the site, is there a way to add the tracker code to the link itself? Please help - I'm desperate. Justin,
