google-analytics

Hello, I found this on the web:

$('a[href^=http]:not("[href*=://' + document.domain + ']")').click(function() {
 pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/' + $(this).attr('href'));
});

But it's not working. In my Google Analytics account there are no /outgoing/ links showing (it's been 24+ hours since I implemented it).

What's wrong with this code? I'm using jQuery of course ;)

(PS : i already have : <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA MY CODE"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {}</script>)
