I was using the below code provided by Google for Google Analytics.
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
ry {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXX-X");
pageTracker._trackPageview("PAGENAME");
} catch (err) { }
</script>
But Google has released Asynchronous Javascript Code (below).
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
My QUESTION is: in the old code I used to track a page with PAGENAME (pageTracker._trackPageview("PAGENAME");). How can I do it using the new asynchronous code?
You can rewrite that third code line in the async tracking code and change it to the following:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'PAGENAME']);
This is documented here
