[Plugin: Google Analytics for WordPress] Virtual URLs for onclick are being picked up by Google Spid
-
Hi,
The google spider is picking up the onclick parameters for tracking. it sees what looks like a real URL, so it tries to crawl it and it results in a 404 because it is artificial to track virtual URLs.The easiest solution is to change your onclick code to make this an array of text elements that you then join with “/” just prior to the trackpageview call.

<blockquote><a href="http://www.shoretelsky.com/products/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview','/yoast-ga/download/http://www.shoretelsky.com/products/']);" target="_blank">business phone systems</a> </blockquote>
