Google analytics and PHP redirection pages

[Smart Fred]

Hi guys,

From a few months I started using redirection pages to manage from one place my affiliation code I use on many galleries.

So I use such a code

<?php
$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if (preg_match('/(iPod|iPhone|android|blackBerry|symbianOS|opera mini|windows CE|nokia|sonyericsson|webOS|palmOS)/i', $agent)) {
header("location: http://my-affiliation-link-to-mobile-tour");
} else {
header("location: http://my-affiliation-link-to-classic-tour");
}
?>

in an index.php file in such a directory http://my-domain.com/go/program/

But I feel completely unable to get Google analytics stats for such a page.
So I'm unable to compare the amount I sent with the amount received on the affiliation program, and I'm also unable to define this page as a goal in Google Analytics.

Is there anyway to use Google Analytics stats and goals for such redirection pages ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

You need to go about tracking the link in a different way, it needs to be on the page of your site it's being clicked on instead, as the php redirect will not trigger the code as it executes pretty much instantaneously.

Take a look at the google article on how to work with analytics to track the outbound links

Hope this helps

Thanks Rob,
That should be what I need. I will try implement the outbound links on my site asap.
