 * Google Analytics for WordPress version 2.7 has by default the following settings:
 * 1)Track full URL of outbound clicks or just the domain? (Just the domain).
    2)/*
   This is a mistype. The Author should be asking where the tracking code be placed:
   footer/header */ Track full URL of outbound clicks or just the domain? (footer).
   3)Track outbound clicks & downloads (Checked).
 * But these default settings are contradictory as to track outbound clicks tracking
   code should be in header.
 * This is what Google says:
 * **_Important: if your pages include a call to \_trackPageview, \_setAllowLinker\
   _trackTrans(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code 
   above any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere
   between the opening <body> tag and the JavaScript call._**
 * Also if you make use of .php pages to track your clicks, place “php” as one of
   the file extensions to track in the download section.
 * Thanks. Great Work Joost !! Please make these changes in the next version.
