You do not need to code anything, using tag manager let's you skip the coding so you only have to add the container.
Link tracking was meant for external links, but you can set-it up to do some internal links as well.
What you are describing sounds more like "In-Page Analytics" or some sort of heat mapping which is available with other software like Crazy Egg or Clicktale or others.

you mean i do not need to code anything on website? Only above steps will track all click of my website? that is if some one clicks on category, then Tab button of description or navigation or drop down menu or any social media link right?

In the new Google Tag Manager:
- Create a new tag under "Google Analytics"
- Choose "Universal Analytics"
- Choose "Click"
- Choose either "All Clicks" or "Some Clicks" depending on if you want to track all pages on your site or only some pages
- Name your event and choose the type (internal or external)
- Create tag
Make sure there is a sufficient delay put on clicks, this will give time for the tag to fire before the next page is loaded. Once your tag container is put live on the site then it should automatically start tracking clicks.

Universal Analytics - is it awarding traffic incorrectly ?
A few days ago deployed a new site. A funny thing happened within one day. Google Analytics commenced reporting Organic traffic as lifting by 25%. At the same time Google Analytics commenced reporting that direct traffic dropped by 25%. All other traffic sources remained at the same level. This is all being reported through GA Universal. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice is appreciated. Also noted that with Google Webmaster is reporting, since the day of the new site deployment, a 40% drop in impressions and click. Reported referrals on this deployment day also went through the roof. All of the Google tools I am depending on are not supporting my discovery of a solution to this. If anyone has been through this on universal analytics or traditional analytics please help! Offering lots of good karma points in return. Cheers.

How to track subfolders in GA?
Is it possible to get the visitor statistics for a subfolder (example.com/blog/) in Google Analytics? I already have GA tracking set-up like normal, and visitors do get logged, but to see data only for /blog/ I have to go to Content > Site Content > All pages and search for "/blog/". Should I create a new profile in Google Analytics? Or is there a better way to only see stats for a subfolder?

Reporting & Analytics | | Unity
The amount of completed purchases reported in GA doesn't match the actual transaction figure via the eCommerce platform. Question:
I was wondering if anyone knows why this occurs? I have a few ideas on why however I haven't been able to locate any supporting evidence. So I was hoping to generate a few ideas from the SEOMoz community to help me investigate further. Any ideas welcome! Much thanks,

Cross Domain Goal Tracking
I am trying to set up conversion tracking on a new website. The traffic will be landing on example.com, but the final step of the transaction takes place on app.example.com. This is the first time I have ever done something like this and Google's documentation does not have a lot of details about how to do this in GA. Does the tracking code need to be installed on example.com and app.example.com? when setting up the goal page does it need to be /landing-page/thank-you or app.example.com/landing-page/thank-you is this well documented in google's help finals and i am just calling it the wrong thing?
