I am almost 99.9% sure that you would have implemented Google's +1 button on your blog website. What next? A million dollar question is how are you going to track the likes and dislikes of your web pages/blog articles done with Google's +1 button?

Get your Google +1 Button from here


A user comes to your blog, reads the article and presses +1 button. This will definitely add a count to it but how will you (as a website/blog owner) know about it? is there a way to track the button's activity?
Well, there is no direct way that Google has specified yet but i found a simple way of doing this with Google Analytics. Google Analytics exposes a functionality to track your own events. You don't need to dive deep into what events are and how they are tracked. I have done it for you.
The simplest thing you need to do is to add the following code to show Google +1 button on your site instead of what Google site provides. I have just added the code shown in BOLD to track it in analytics. If you have done customizations to the Google's +1 button code using advanced options, then you should add the code shown in BOLD below to your existing code else you can copy and paste it straightaway.
