Hi guys, I am currently making a website for a musician and he is offering a free download of his album. I have built that into the site, but is there an easy way to track how many people download it?

I see google analytics(sp?) is the way to go, but I have never undertook something like this before and would appreciate some help as to where to start.

If i can provide any more info, please let me know

Many thanks

You add an OnClick javascript handler for the link to download the file like this:

<a href="http://www.example.com/files/downloadedfile.zip" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/map'); ">

You know you can do this by removing the messy onClick attribute and use JQuery instead - ensuring you keep your code clean.
