gaTracker

This plugin is intended to simplify the process of adding Google Analytics tracking to a page, including the tracking of outbound links, mailtos, and downloads, which are not otherwise tracked by default. Calling the plugin does the following:

• Determine whether to include the SSL or non-SSL version of the GA script.
• Include the GA script (currently urchin.js, while ga.js is still in beta testing) from within try/catch to help suppress any issues GA may have from time to time.
• Set the _uacct variable to your GA tracking code.
• Call the urchinTracker() function once for the initial page load.
• Examine all of the links on the page and attach onclick events to external links, mailto links, and downloads.
• Call urchinTracker() when these links are clicked, prefixing them appropriately.

It requires jQuery 1.2 or higher for the cross-domain $.getScript() call. Usage is simply:
