Google Analytics Custom Event Tracking Not Working

I am trying to add custom event tracking to a link on a site I built. For some reason it does not seem to be working. The code I have is:

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'SOU Links', 'Click', 'Top edu banner']);"

The site URL is http://sou.wpengine.com/. The link with the event tracking is the "Sign Up Now" link at the top of the page. Any ideas?

Solution

  • It appears you're using the advanced configuration setup described by google here. To track events, you'll want to use the event tracking methods described by google here.

    Hope this helps.
