Here is a script for tracking authors in WordPress using Google Analytics Event Tracking. I threw this together in response to a blog post by Douglas Karr on tracking authors in WordPress. Doug presents a way to do this using spoofed pageviews and a separate profile. I could see a use case for that method also.

If you aren’t familiar with Doug’s blog, I highly recommend it. A great resource for digital marketers, with frequent posts on SEO, analytics, social media and a variety of other subjects.
