    Hi guys!

    I´m trying to track every outbound link on my site with GA, weather it´s a client´s site, social network, or phone number. I´m allready getting a copy of every inquiry, and sent to friend form, so no need to track those.

    I read this two previous posts, but I´m wondering, do I have to create an event for every link in every listing? It´s crazy if you have more than 100 listings, right? Is there a way to track outbound links in general?

    Each listing has a class that includes the postid, unique to the listing, and then each link also has a class. You can add/customize the class inside the custom fields options.

    For example this post is #178

    https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/places/united-states/california/san-francisco/restaurants/tasty-food-inc/

    You will find .postid_178 inside the bodyclass.

    Thank you Alex,

    That would be to track the listing, right?

    But how do you track the outbound links on every listing?

    Is that possible?

    Thank you!
