Analytics: Tracking Cloaked Links
Hi guys
I'm using Google Analytics and Statcounter for my website.
Before when I had affiliate links on my website, I could see when they were clicked. But someone told me that having ugly, long affiliate links is bad for SEO and usability...
So I am now using cloaked links, or redirects, but I can no longer tell when links are being clicked. They don't show up in Statcounter.
Are there people on this forum with affiliate-related sites that are using cloaked links and can see when they're being clicked?
Please help - without tracking, my analytics are nearly meaningless.
THANKS,
BK

What exactly Statcounter tracks for your website?

Statcounter tracks your site traffic, it shows you what is being clicked, how a visitor reached your website, etc. It's very valuable to know how a user found your content and what he clicked when he got there....
Maybe people in this forum have a different method?

I've been using Statcounter for a long time. I like it most because it gives you exact reports and cut down your own visit to your own websites.
However I tried to figure out a lot for this because I had dynamic IP from ISP, so now I think I can use StatCounter without any problem and easily know who and when visitors came to my site and how long they stayed.

OK - But what about tracking cloaked links? I still don't see an answer there...
