google analytics - How to track zip file download without an onclick event? -


i have zip file url http://www.mycompany.com/download/test.zip

i have send url via e-mail customers.

how can track number of downloads using google analytics?

i have tried adding utm_source url of no use. http://www.mycompany.com/download/test.zip?utm_source=downld

also, onclick event not possible because there no webpage opening on click of zip file url. when customer clicks on url in his/her email, zip file starts downloading.

please help.

use event tracking on onclick event:

<a href="/path/to/doc.pdf" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackevent', 'download', 'pdf', 'doc.pdf']);">download</a> 

look in documentation here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventtrackerguide see parameters mean.

of course use virtual pageview (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/asyncmigrationexamples#virtualpageviews) zip files url (which affect bounce rates , average visits time etc).
