title: Tracking outbond links with Google Analytics Pageviews or Event?
body: <p>I used so far GA pageviews of oubound links by sending the links to a page that redirects. </p>
  
  <p>The link looks like  www.mysite/redirect.php?vars=$vars1&amp;vars=$vars1&amp;vars=$vars1&amp;<strong>target_url=url</strong></p>
  
  <p>The link url contains some variables that gives me some information that I can filter with GA pageviews.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;window.location = 'target_url'&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I read that this method may not be reliable. Is that true or does the redirect method works fine?</p>
