Event tracking in Google Analytics

Posted on May 14, 2009 by Arthur Kay.

For the past week, I have been very frustrated with Google Analytics.

I had read in GA documentation about Event Tracking, and I really wanted to set it up on my sites. Unless I’m completely blind, I don’t think the documentation says anywhere that this feature is in beta testing and not fully available to the public.

Doing a quick Google search, I found a blog post details how to hack GA and see this data (assuming you’ve set it up). GA has been tracking the data – they just haven’t given you direct access to it.

I don’t know when Google plans on giving everyone access to this feature, but I’m hoping it’s sometime soon.
