Shortcut Code to Track Downloads and all other Non-open Pages

Using the javascript we can track the following file extensions:

doc, eps, jpg, png, svg, xls, ppt, pdf, xls, zip, txt, vsd, vxd, js, css, rar, exe, wma, mov, avi, wmv, mp3

How do you install the tracking JavaScript?

Step 1: Upload the attached file to our website

(Add it to this folder: http://www.yoursite.com/scripts/ )

Step 2: Add the following JavaScript code just before your Google Analytics tracking code:

<script src="http://www.yoursite.com/scripts/gatag.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

So everywhere we need to place this.The file will lok something like this mentioned hereunder:__________________________________________________________________________

if (document.getElementsByTagName) {
        // Initialize external link handlers
        var hrefs = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
