Google Analytics how to track fake pageview?

How do I create a fake pageview in GA?

Example 

<a href="#" onclick=>"javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/billigst_klik');">Track</a>

Then GA would track one pageview named "billigst_klik"

function track(someurl){
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', someurl]);
}

<a href="#" onclick="track('/billigst_klik');">Track</a>

But if you are tracking just clicks, it should be an event not a pageview.

function trackEvent(someurl){
     _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Click', 'Link_Click', someurl]);
}

<a href="#" onclick="trackEvent('/billigst_klik');">Track</a>

Click is the category and Link_Click is the action. someurl is the label. You can set them to be whatever values makes sense to you.

Are you using the newer async code? If so, something like this should work:

<a href="???" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/billigst_klik']); return false;">Track</a>
