I have created a simple snippet that allows to track hyperlink clicks.
This can be used onsite or in newsletters. There is a database field for subscribers that I use on my site but is not used in the snippet as posted here.

To use it you will need to create

• a database table *etomiteprefix*clicktrack
• a snippet "trackclicks" snippet
• a "showtrackclicks" snippet
• an empty template containing only [*content*]

Submit url variables cmp (campaign) and url (the url to be redirected to)
eg: in stead of using

<a href="http://www.google.com">google</a>

you can use

<a href="trackclick?cmp=googlecampaign&url=http://www.google.com">google</a>

Every time a user clicks the above url the cmp and url will be stored together with the user IP in the db.

Use the snippet in a page with 'empty' template that contains ONLY [*content*] page needs to have cacheable set to OFF!
(in the example above the pages alias is trackclick and the site uses frienddly aliases

Hope it is useful for someone!
