About LinkBacksI was looking at the google analytics help and came across this little thing here:

vBSEO places the code at the bottom, before the body tag, so wouldn't that mean that the tracking of external links does not work at all?Important: if your pages include a call to urchinTracker(), utmLinker(), utmSetTrans(), or utmLinkPost(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code above any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere between the opening <body> tag and the JavaScript call.

Hello,
the urchinTracker call is performed only when the link is clicked, which happens after the page is loaded (including loading of Google Analytics js script), so that is not a problem.Oleg Ignatiuk / Crawlability Inc.
