    For my google analytics, which link do I add as 'sale'? Is it the first link that the member sees after paying me? Since this is recurring, how does analytics handle that data? Not just recurring but I have a $1 trial followed by a $9.94 monthly fee.

    Google Analytic will track the first sale via your thanks page (\templates\thanks.html) but will not have a means of representing rebills since this happens outside of the front end.

    Thanks for the info, I'm surprised that such a robust script like analytics cannot track recurring billing.

    Analytics is for tracking users actions.... for the purpose of the website design / copy / interface / advertising / etc....

    Since the recurring billing occurs behind the scenes, for analytics to follow the recurring billing, it would need to be somehow integrated into the amember code, not as a simple javascript placed in html.

    Thinking about it- if using paypal, couldnt you use the additional IPN part of the paypla plugin to trigger a "sale" in analytics.?
