@Douglass: You are correct and thanks for the heads up. After reading your comment, I dug a little deeper into Google Analytics help files and found What is urchinTracker and how can it help me and How do I track AJAX applications. For AJAX heavy sites, do implement the urchinTracker function if you run Analytics. It will surely help paint a clearer picture of traffic quality on your website.

The myth that seems to be perpetuated on utilizing Ajax is that you “can’t” measure these requests. It’s absolutely not true. All good Analytics engines allow you to pass events to them.

I utilize Google Analytics and have a couple of Ajax applications on the web. On my request, I simply add a couple lines of JavaScript to incur an additional event in Analytics.

It just takes a little extra work – but Ajax doesn’t have to be a show stopper for you!
