Custom Variables NOTE: Because the variables are sent in the __utm.gif request, they must be set before _trackPageview() or before an event is fired on a page.
Custom Variables

Previous Customer,[object Object]
Page Level Custom Variables Use page-level custom variables to define a collection of page-level activities by your users. For example, you might have sections such as Life & Style, Opinion, and Business. You could set a custom variable to track all your articles by section
Tracking # of Reviews _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',      1,                   	                     // This custom var is set to slot #1.        ‘Number of Reviews',            // The top level name for the variable       ‘1',                                               //  The Number of Reviews       3                                                 // Page level variable   ]);
