My one concern is that this will artificially inflate the number of pageviews for a site, as it is uses the pageTracker._trackPageview function. Is this true? If so, I would recommend you add that users create an Advanced Segment (Page URL does not contain "/exit/") to help filter out the data. Thanks again for sharing this great bit of code! Hi Jordi,

Thanks for sharing! My one concern is that this will artificially inflate the number of pageviews for a site, as it is uses the pageTracker._trackPageview function.

Is this true? If so, I would recommend you add that users create an Advanced Segment (Page URL does not contain “/exit/”) to help filter out the data.

Thanks again for sharing this great bit of code!

Anyway, they should appear under: Sources > Important exit pages (I'm not sure about the exact translations). All exit links should start with /exit/. Hope that helps!

Can you please upload a screen grab of your analytics page? Thanks! Hi,

It would be nice to show some sample code on including Prototype.... That way people coming here can get the whole picture.

You need to do this first, otherwise it won't work.

The site is www.etenerife (dot) com and the code has been placed on the home page but is not recording any outgoing clicks. Can you see what I have done wrong? Hi Jordi,

I tried to send via your contact form but there seems to be a problem with the send button?

The site is http://www.etenerife (dot) com and the code has been placed on the home page but is not recording any outgoing clicks.

Can you see what I have done wrong?

They should all begin with /exit/ and then the URL of the exit link. Send me a link to your website and I can take a look at it :) That’s strange, you should be able to see them under the Content Performance tab.

If that's right, then I'm not seeing anything though statcounter is showing clicks out from those pages. Can you suggest any common errors I may have made? Hi there,
