Finished with AdWords

Now need software that tracks clicks

[ember]

This is probably posted in the wrong section, but we are done with AdWords and now plan to sell advertising directly to customers, which is what we used to do. Does anyone know of a software that will track clicks from our site to the advertisers' site, and ideally, track how much money it is costing them?

Try Dart from DoubleClick.

I have a similar need, but was wondering if anyone knows of a product that would cheaper, hopefully maybe even free, that would simply track outgoing clicks. I don't need all the other bells and whistles. Thanks so much.

You can write the scripts or get some one - here are ths steps

1. Use a 302 redirect script to redirect the link -
http://www.example.com/goto.cgi?http://www.targetexample.com/
Script can be Perl, PHP, etc. I prefer PHP as it makes handling cookies simple

2. Write a script that returns a 302 Location response and logs the click - ip, date/time, url, referrer

3. As long as you are under 30,000 referrals per month you can use an Excel Pivot table to do a monthly analysis.

I run 180,000 referrals per month and have a Perl script that sums the referrals for each link at the end of the month.
