Hello all,
I have a question regarding the __utmLinker (OR using the new code,pageTracker._link).

I have got this working, i even have _utma,_utmb,..... variables appended to the URL. Now my question is, how to test whether the code is doing what it is suppose to do?

How do I test this fuctionality? Do I have to look into the cookie values? or is there something else to this?

Thanks!

Cookies won't help.

Get a tool like Fiddler and use it to show you what happens when you click on one of those links. You should see your click generating a hit to the google analytics data collection server, and it should be sending all the info that you programmed into it.

Fiddler is an amazing tool, worth the price.

Thanks for the help. Can you please elaborate on this (like fiddler links, tutorial, sample). I have never done this and i am totally lost...

Some more help would be appreciated
