Any outbound link tracking?

You mean like what is explained here using Tag Manager? If so, the plugin does not support Tag Manager at this time. Let me know if I can provide any further infos, glad to help anytime. Thank you Jon.

Sort of like that. But a lot of plugins (check your competition) offer this functionality built in to their plugins. It automatically tracks outbound links and file downloads (e.g., pdf,zip,ppt,etc.)… and adds them as Events within Google Analytics.

Yeah that’s because they probably have support for Google Tag Manager. If that’s what you need, then definitely use a plugin that can do the job. As mentioned, Tag Manager is not something this plugin can do currently. I hope that makes sense.

I don’t think AIOSEO does it through Google Tag Manager. It’s all built-in to their plugin. They may have some sort of custom script in their plugin that detects outbound links and file types, and then logs those clicks to Analytics as Events when they are detected and clicked.

I would request that you take a look at how it’s done (many other Analytics plugins also do it, including MonsterInsights).

Check out this screenshot from a site with AIOSEO and link tracking: https://i.imgur.com/c4ZdsJO.png

They seem to be adding a new file with that functionality. Here is that file:

I like the simplicity of your plugin, but it would be a nice feature to have an option of enabling outbound/external link tracking. Even if it were a Pro feature (another selling point that I’d be happy to upgrade for).

Thanks for the infos Jon. Will take a closer look and see what’s possible for a future update.
