Hello,

I need to track the links used on a site, specifically when a users clicks a link to an external site I need to record and store the number of times the link is used.

Anyone know of any good Tutorials or articles on the subject or any FREE extensions.

Regards

Owen.

Replace 'real link' with the one that will redirect user to your page (lets say redirect.asp). That link should have some kind of identity.
On this page create Command (Stored Procedure) and update field where is stored number of clicks (clicks=click+1). After that use response.redirect to send where he wanted to go.
So, basicaly you need to create another page where you'll update your DB and then use redirect.
