WP-Click-Track WordPress Plugin

June 11th, 2009 No comments

Did you ever want to be able to track the clicks on the links that you use inside posts and pages? If so, you should check the WP-Click-Track plugin. It comes with two different features:

1. The first one will scan all your posts and pages looking for links, and it will add a tracking code to each of them so that you will be able to track the clicks.

2. The second function can be used if you want to create an individual trackable link, for instance to use with sponsors or affiliates.

I was concerned that the plugin could change the structure of the links and mess up with the SEO, but Eric Lamb, the author told me that it only uses an “onclick” Ajax element to track the clicks.

click-tracker

Once you have the plugin running, you will be able to see a wide range of reports, including the top referrers, the number of clicks on each link, the most clicked links by day and hour and so on. It is worth a look.
