		<description>Foarte interesant ca si concept de a cuantifica calitatea unui blog prin cantitatea comentariilor si implicit tracking lor. 
Chiar m-a ajutat acest post, cautam acel &quot;one thing&quot; intr-un blog, proiect de publishing pentru a genera cat mai multe &quot;one thing-uri&quot; si oscilam intre adaugare la lista de emailuri, submit to rss... 

Super, merci Liviu.
(ah, scuze pentru Romana)</description>

		<description>it may be easier to just add onclick=&quot;pageTracker._trackPageview(&quot;/thanks-for-comment.html&quot;)&quot; to the submit comment button.
the technique is explained in google analytics track outbound links.</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t be easier to just use Google Analytics regular expressions url match and do a funnel.
Like considering a post is submited when you have something like .\/#comment\-[0-9]{1,} ?
You could also consider Step1 the link .*\/#respond which is not mandatory.</description>

		<description>Hi,

Somehow the redirect doesn&#039;t work in my wordpress 2.7.

Here&#039;s what I altered in the comment-post.php:

$comment = get_comment($comment_id);
if ( !$user-&gt;ID ) {
	setcookie(&#039;comment_author_&#039; . COOKIEHASH, $comment-&gt;comment_author, time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
	setcookie(&#039;comment_author_email_&#039; . COOKIEHASH, $comment-&gt;comment_author_email, time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
	setcookie(&#039;comment_author_url_&#039; . COOKIEHASH, clean_url($comment-&gt;comment_author_url), time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
	setcookie(&#039;comment_posted&#039;, &#039;1&#039;, time() + 40, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
}

$location = empty($_POST[&#039;redirect_to&#039;]) ? get_comment_link($comment_id) : $_POST[&#039;redirect_to&#039;] . &#039;?comment=1&#039;.&#039;#comment-&#039; . $comment_id;

The result is this: myurl/comment-page-1/#comment-16

But it should be something like: myurl/comment=1/comment-page-1/#comment-16 right?

Thanks, Peter</description>

		<description>@Depesh Mandalia  - Thanks a lot. It matters to me. I would recommend to use a normal a href tag but with rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; attribute, that instruct Google to not follow that link. And, to track outgoing links you can use events, see the script here - &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.immeria.net/2009/01/google-analytics-script-to-track.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google Analytics: script to track outbound links and downloads&lt;/a&gt;. Send me an email if you have trouble installing this. Yep.. I saw the tweet from &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/avinashkaushik&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Avinash&lt;/a&gt; as referral, and I thanked him by twitter.

@krishna - Thx.</description>

		<description>Great post thanks Liviu.

Here&#039;s a problem I&#039;m helping someone with, perhaps you could help? They have links out of their blog to external websites which they wish to track in Wordpress. The links use the &#039;GoCodes&#039; plugin which allows them to create the destination URL which could for example be http://www.XYZ.com but instead the &#039;GoCodes&#039; plugin creates http://wordpresswebsite.com/go/XYZ

Then in their robots.txt file there is an exclude against /go/* so that robots do not follow the links. However we cannot thus far work out how to track those clicks? Thanks in advance, Depesh
p.s. I got this link from Avinash via Twitter - wonder if that comes up in your referrer list?!</description>
