What's the easiest way to keep track of outgoing links? I want to see how effective certain ads are on my site and what kind of traffic they generate for advertisers.

You need to use a click-tracking script which stores details of clicks in a database, and either alter the links to send the clicks directly through the script (which will redirect the user to the real site immediately) or use an
onclick
event which overrides the direct link.

Can you recommend an easy to use click-tracking script?
