   Couldn't enable cross domain tracking - "_link" event is not set for specified domains and they just tracked as outbound articles.

   After looking through code I've found the line that could couse problem.

   Here's the code snippet:
   -----
   

   } else if ( $target["domain"] != $origin["domain"] ){
   					$crossdomains = explode(',',str_replace(' ','',$options['othercrossdomains']));
   					if ( $options['trackcrossdomain'] && in_array($target["host"],$crossdomains) ) {
   						$trackBit = '_gaq.push([\'_link\', \'' . $matches[2] . '//' . $matches[3] . '\']); return false;"';
   					} else if ( $options['trackoutbound'] && in_array($options['domainorurl'], array('domain','url')) ) {
   						$url = $options['domainorurl'] == 'domain' ? $target["host"] : $matches[3];
   						$trackBit = GA_Filter::ga_get_tracking_link($category, $url,'');
   					}
   					$trackBit = GA_Filter::ga_get_tracking_link($category, $url,'');
   				}

   ------

   Actually, the last line in the code is the problem. If I delete it, it seems to work as expected.

   I'm having the same issue, even when disabling outgoing link tracking and commenting out the offending line of code from above. Does anyone have a fix for this in version 4.2.4? All links appear as outgoing whether they are listed in the specified domain list or not. Thanks!

   Has anyone figured this out? Yoast doesn't appear to frequent this board often. Thanks!

   We have a similar issue. Basically our conversion paths are not being tracked correctly between our site - socialbizzle.com and our payment processor - Fastspring.

   All conversions appear as a 'direct source' even though they are occurring through adwords and other marketing channels.

   I thought the problem would be solved now I have removed the 'track clicks and downloads option'.

   Are you saying that you have done that and it still doesn't work correctly?
