How to pass META/301 redirect info to Google Analytics? (2 posts)

    Hi all.
    I am trying to track clicks to external site from my email newsletter. So my thinking is this...

    I would send an email with links like so:

    http://mysite.tld/my-wp-page?utm_source

    where my-wp-page is actually just a redirect to an off site (not a page on mysite.tld) via javascript or META go refresh with 1-2 second delay, and in the body, I'd put the google anallytics code.

    I've searched all over for this type of plugin that can do redirect w/time delay (enough for google analytics to fire), but i can't seem to find any. Most of the plugins i do are server side redirects (thus no google analytics)

    Does anyone know that can do this?

    A little clarification:

    I am trying to track the clicks w/Google Analytics as specified here. So i need to have a intermediate page where google analytics can "fire" (with me passing the "UTM" parameters as $_GET parameters).
