* Unnecessary JavaScript to every link for tracking.
* Simply work by inserting a click function to jQuery object to call Google Analytics
* This code will pass a page path of “/outgoing/” and the url of where the click was headed.
* Clearly display the outgoing URLs, total numbers of page views and its percentage on Content Overview Panel of Google Analytics.
