Thanks a lot Kristi, I was banging my head against the wall already. The configurations in Analytics I knew, but the onClick=”_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Category', 'Action', 'Label']);” isn´t in any place on the Analytics help pages.

Thanks for the post Kristi, and the additional thoughts Roko.

It could also be useful to pass some other parameters so as to be able to tie the sale to other elements perhaps…

In addition to tracking clicks on aff links, it is also good to know which keywords are bringing sales, especially if PPC is one source of traffic. Keyword with most clicks on aff links doesn’t have to be the one with the most sales. For aff links that allow sub parameters, like CJ, Shareasale and similar, it can be done through simple PHP script that appends referer info to the link. So CJ link on the page that looks like this:
http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1234567-12345678?sid=
If someone types “SEO Guide” into Google, navigates to your site and clicks on the link above, the link turns to:
http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1234567-12345678?sid=Google+SEO+Guide

That way keyword referer info is passed into CJ and you know which keywords are bringing sales, not just clicks.
