We're a small children's theatre company and make great use of Google Analytics. We use CiviCRM/CiviEvent for our patron database and online ticket sales, and wanted to add Google Analytics ecommerce tracking to track the effectiveness of our various marketing activities.
I did this by copying /civicrm/templates/CRM/Price/Page/LineItem.tpl into a custom template directory, and adding the tracking code to my custom version.

The code below tracks not only the entire order amount, but also the quantities of individual items in the order.
Here's another double release, fresh and ready, being a perfect opportunity for you to contribute to your favourite Open Source project (How? See "Step up and help out" section of this post):

We also had a successful sponsorship program with 4 Gold Sponsors, 5 Silver Sponsors and 10 Bronze Sponsors (managed by CiviContribute and the CiviEvent discount module). A companion blog post highlights all the wonderful women and men (and organizations) who made this event possible. Some of my personal highlights of the trip:
