This may be a little picky but the titles should read 4 ‘MORE’ things you should track, as tracking visitors and the way people find your site is naturally the first step (first stage of Google analytics).

I regularly post ways people use and find my site on my blog, as it helps my reades understand how you can optimis you blog to your particular audience.

There is a lot to be learnt from tracking, but it’s important to act on it, not simply to track.

Tracking an RSS subscription will be hard as there’s no analytics snippet on the feed page – It’s XML format and expecting XML output. The analytics snippet requires extra markup. There’s no code generating a page landing on the subscription page.

Best way is probably to track events (such as clicking on the RSS feed button). Or use an onclick to fire track a page view attached to a goal (in effect, faking a page view to fire a goal).

@DebiprasadYou can use either of these:
pageTracker._trackEvent(’subscription’, ‘rss’) pageTracker._trackPageview(’/rss/subscription’)?

…but pageTracker._trackEvent(’subscription’, ‘rss’) is the more correct usage as you probably do not have at /rss/subscription.

You are really tracking the subscription event, so it’s probably best to use that in the long run.
