Google with "Google analytics" the web site statistics service offers a very important service to webmasters for free. The service is undoubtedly perfect for its price. There is a missing feature though that many webmasters wish they had; where do visitors go when leaving the website. Google has addressed this partially and you can add an onclick event in your outbound links (inside your anchor tag)

onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outgoing/example_com');"

I am saying that this is a partial solution because it would be tedious for people with websites that have more than say 100 pages to do this manually. Therefore I created this simple javascript solution that goes on each and every outbound link on you page and adds this click event. Here it is

function attachOnClick() {
var _B = document.domain;
var _A = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for( var i = 0; i  0 )
{
_A[i].onclick = function(){
outlink = "/outlinks/"+this.href.substring(7) ;
urchinTracker(outlink);
};
}
}
}
attachOnClick();

You can save this in a javascript file analytics_report_outbound.js and then insert it in your page footer like this

<script xsrc="analytics_report_outbound.js" mce_src="analytics_report_outbound.js"     type="text/javascript"></script>

Hope it helps.
