Hey Kyle - good find. This is really useful in the GA environment but it gunks up the reports with all the extra visits (trade-off). I have tried to play around with the _trackEvent() function (http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gaJSApi.html#_gat.GA_EventTracker_._trackEvent) to see if I can get rid of the extra visits but can’t seem to get it to work or find where the data flows to in GA.If anyone has some guidance would appreciate it.Thanks.

This is old news. There exists many solutions for this; solutions that also tracks downloads and email clicks.@matthewdiehl - Event tracking is in private beta, only Google Analytics beta testers have access to that.
