I want to keep track how many times a link has been clicked on my website.

Therefor I checked the tracking-checkbox in the link-editor. As a result the link is coded like this:

href="/dnn/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=

I now have two questions:

1) Where can I see the results? I'm curious how many visitors clicked on the link so far.
2) How can I enable link-tracking in Google Analytics. Googling for information teached me that this is a better way to track the linkclicks, but I don't understand how, yet.

Thanks in advance!

Click edit pencil (in the edit mode) at the left side of the link and at the bottom you will see number of downloads have been done. Also there is "Display" link - it allows to show detailed statistic.

Do not think you can add LinkClick tracking in the Google Analytic.

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for your answer.
I've indeed seen that the statistics are displayed in edit-mode when using the Links-module.
However, I've inserted my links directly in a HTML-module. I've used the special Editor to insert these links and there I can enable tracking as well.
So, problem is, where can I find the results of these links?!

And about Google Analytics, I thougt that that was a better way to monitor behaviour without harming SEO. That would be a reason to use GA instead of linkclicks. I don't know what I have to add to my links than, but that's probably not a question for here:).

Thanks again!

Joost

You could use event tracking.
<a href="#" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Videos', 'Play', 'TITLE']);">Play</a>

If you want to track all pdf's downloaded for example. I assign a class "pdf" to my document hrefs, then using this jquery I can track all pdf downloads without having to add the onClick event to each link. The events will show up under the content section of your analytics report.

<a href="/my.pdf" class="pdf" Title="My PDF">Download</a>

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('.pdf').click(function(){
     _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'PDF Download', 'Whitepapers', $(this).attr('title')]);
   });
 });
