This is so you can use the latest Google Analytics set-up code to track outbound links from your site. Requires jQuery.

Google Analytics Outbound Tracking with Events

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var _gaq = _gaq || [];
	_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXX-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>
		
<script type="text/javascript">

	// record the event
	function record_ga(link, category, action, label) {
		try {
			_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', category, action, label]);	  
			setTimeout('document.location = "' + link + '"', 100);
		}catch(err){}
	}

	// add google analytics to all links with http
	function add_ga() {		
		$("a[href^='http']").each(function() {
			var href = $(this).attr('href');
			var exp = /:\/\/(.[^\/]+)/;
			// make sure not to record links to same domain if they contain http unless data-ga attr is there
			if (!href.match(document.domain) || (href.match(document.domain) && $(this).attr('data-ga'))) {
				if (matches = exp.exec(href)) {
					var domain = matches[1];
					if ($(this).attr('data-aud')) {
						$(this).click(function(){
							record_ga(href,"Outbound Traffic - " + $(this).attr('data-aud'),domain,href);
							return false;
						});
					} else {
						$(this).click(function(){
							record_ga(href,"Outbound Traffic",domain,href);
							return false;
						});
					}
				}
			}			
		});
	}

	// add google analytics event tracking to outbound links when document is ready
	$(document).ready(function() {
		add_ga(); 
	});
