Ever wonder how many clicks a link on your website gets? Sometimes its good to know. MJLK Link Tracking is simple to use and easy to install.
See for your self: [mjlk href="
http://mysite.com/my-link" notes="My Notes about this link"] My Link Text [/mjlk]
You can track the use of any link on (or off) your website by simply implementing the code above.
MJLK works by adding an "onmousedown" event to the
A
tag. When the link is clicked, MJLK switches the
HREF
value from the actual link to the tracking link..
MJLK Collects the following information from each click:
Link To - The location the link is going to.
Link Referrer - The location the link is coming from.
IP Address - The Remote IP Address of the user.
Date and time of click
Notes - An optional value to annotate between duplicate links in the same web page. This is a string value with a maximum of 200 chars.

mjlk-link-tracking
