If like myself Google Event Tracking is not yet an option in your Google analytics account profile (Whats with the delay Google!?!) then a colleague of mine found an easy hack to add the functionality to your profile. Simply hack the URL to include the events folder and away you go.
https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/events?id=yoursiteID
To all those wondering if historical data is being recorded by Google even though its not yet visible in your accounts…yes it is. I installed event tracking on a website without it yet being available in the analytics profile and it’s recorded back at least 4 months since we first included it in the HTML.

I was pulling my hair out, wondering why I couldn’t find the Event Tracking link in GA. I never knew it was just beta, but this is awesome. Thank you!
