Google Code:

The final code that is inserted into the page looks like this:

<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="ga('send', {hitType: 'event',
                                                      eventCategory: 'link',
                                                      eventAction: 'click',
                                                      eventLabel: 'google'
                                                     });">Google!</a>

Code is based off of analytics.js tracking. More information on Google's Event Tracking here. If you are running an older version of Google Analytics, this gadget will not work.

To test if the Google event fires, publish out the page and click on the link. Next in Google Analytics, navigate to the “Real-Time”/”Events” and see if the Event Category and Action happened.
