title: Google Analytics Domain Tracking API _link() method
body: <p>Has anyone else had any problems using google's Domain Tracking API, I am specifically talking about the _link() method.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApiDomainDirectory.html#_gat.GA_Tracker_._link" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The documentation is here</a></p>
  
  <p>The example provided shows that the _link() method should be used in the onclick event like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://www.newsite.com" onclick="pageTracker._link('http://www.newsite.com');return false;"&gt;Go to our sister site&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this essentially just makes the link...do nothing (most probably because of the 'return false').</p>
  
  <p>My understanding is that the pageTracker._link() method is 'supposed' to add additional parameters to the url and do it's own document.location style redirect.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas / catches / previous posts??</p>
