Hey Rob,

I’d say use a pixel. But you can also make people register before using the plugin (to get a key).

That way you can mail them upcoming plugins and useful offers

Thanks for sharing this, but what I’m working on is to track usage of a widget, or plug-in on third-party sites.

For example, if we develop a SharePoint webpart, or WordPress plug-in, we want to be able to track it’s usage when installed on a third party website …

Anyone with ideas on how this could be done?? Other thank simply including a tracking pixel img reference within the webpart or plugin code… ?

Very interesting, I didn't even knew that this option exists. Until now I have set up a goal for each button I wanted to track... like this onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/example.com');" The New Rich's last blog post..What Does The New Rich Mean, Anyway?

hey Alex!
ehmmmmmmm you don´t need to tag your links, just set the settings of the plugin the way you want it to work for you.

Advantage of this is not having to touch your core files and if you ever decide to change the theme, your settings stay in place

LOL not that i ever see you changing your theme in the near future :P:P

Really? I never used the plugins for this, so I wouldn’t know.

So, do you need to tag your links somehow? (i.e. the “onClick..” stuff?)

btw… you mention having to add code to your theme (something I always try to avoid as much as possible LOL) and I just noticed that the latest version of the google analytics plugin actually lets you track a lot more than before, including downloads etc …. so maybe there is no need to add the code you gave here
