jQuery Plugin for Google Analytics

Use this jQuery plugin to easily integrate asynchronous Google Analytics code onto your web pages or to tag multiple links using a jQuery selector.

Basic Usage

Include the jQuery plugin and call the $.googleanalytics() method to initialize:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.googleanalytics.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function(){
		// Initialize tracker and create a pageview
		$.googleanalytics({UA: 'UA-XXXXX-XX'});
	});
</script>

The above example is perfect for most simple implementations of the tracking code, replacing this standard GA code:

<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>
