      I would like to track outbound links at   http://bit.ly/yYHmbf

      1. Shall i  add the following code before at the above page

      What does 100 means in above code ?
      

      2. Then use this for each outgoing link

      ```
      [onClick="recordOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'example.com');return false;">](http://www.example.com)
      ``` [](http://www.example.com) 
      ```[```
      http://www.example.com  is the outbound link 
      

      Am i right on both counts ?

      where should i look for report in GA ?
      ```](http://www.example.com)

        Hi Atul,

        This is going to be an intimate morning ;-), you should add this code indeed in the of your page.

        1. The 100 is the number of of milliseconds before the first parameter, the trackEvent in this case is set.
        2. You're right on both counts.
        3. The reports in Google Analytics could be found (in the new version of Google Analytics) under Content > Events > Overview.

        Hope this helps (again)!

              If you worry about the 100 milliseconds it's OK. A second is 1000 miliseconds, so 1/10 of a second is between the click and the trackEvent.
