For that, I need + location.hash

Is this right?

I have the following at the top of my index.html file

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-XXXXXXXX-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);
})();

Then on the intro page I have a menu bar which goes to different pages i.e.

‘
‘
‘
‘
‘HOME PAGE
‘
‘
‘ABOUT US
‘
‘
‘
‘Future Use
‘
‘
‘RESULTS
‘
‘

Then I have the individual pages on the main index.html file i.e.

‘
‘
‘
‘
‘
‘Test Website

Where and what do I use as the code to track these

‘#!/page_HOME

‘#!/page_SERVICES

Google Analytics ignores anchor links because it does not see them. In reality a browser makes a request without the anchor (#) part then locally moves to its position when the page is returned. Google code tracks the URL in the request, which is anchor free.

Also, when you have an in page anchor link, it will not trigger a new request. It just locally moves to that new position. Your browsers Address bar also gets updated but Google’s code is not re-run to capture the click.

Hence the code to manually trigger a page hit or event.

See if this works

<a href=”#somewhere” onclick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’, location.pathname + location.search + ‘#somewhere’]);”>somewhere</a>

Or you may want to track it as an event.

<a href=”#somewhere” onclick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘anchor’, ‘click’, ‘somewhere’]);”>somewhere</a>

I added this code to our google analytics and it is not tracking the anchor tag links.

Could the error be because we are using a CMS that makes links with wild URLS? how does this actually work calling the location.hash?

I wish i could explain this better. We are using Red Dot/Open Text.

This would track when the hash is in a link or directly typed in to a browser.

It would not pick up proper internal page anchor links (like href=”#top”) or javascript that causes hash changes to the browsers URL. This is because they don’t cause the page to reload and trigger your code.

In those cases you would want to add javascript into an onclick attribute or the dynamic code, that included some _trackPageview code.
