Google Analytics setup

I need some guidance on these issues.

How can Google Analytics tracks download count?

Will it be automatically tracked or do I need to use some tag manager to do that?

What if the download was done via Javascript? Can it still be tracked? If yes how can we do that?

Thank you.

You'd either need to configure a custom event in GA that fires each time the javascript is triggered, or setup the javascript to redirect to a "thank you" page (with GA tracking on it) after the download is requested.

Hi there, I'm interested for the first part of your statement.

>>You'd either need to configure a custom event in GA that fires each time the javascript is triggered

Can you give me an example or point me to an online resources for this? Thank you.

Hi Lucas,

Google Tag Manager is relatively new to me, I would need to study on it.

But wow! You guys provided me useful information for me to proceed = )
