WP-Click-Track
NOTE THAT THIS IS UNSUPPORTED!
wp-click-track is a WordPress plugin, started in January 2009, that adds automated link tracking to your posts and pages. It initially started out as a simple plugin for my own personal usage but has since evolved into a full module all its own.

Usage
The click tracker works in 2 modes:
1. Scans posts and rewrites them to include a tracking element
2. Enables users to create stand alone trackable links that can be embedded in posts or offsite.
Links should include a title paramater in the href to have the reference name be automatically created. Ex:
<a href=”http://url.com” title=”Link Title”>link copy</a>
Links without a title attribute will have a default name created.

Love, love, love this plugin! It has helped us greatly with our click analytics and optimizing our ad placement. Can’t wait for the data export function!
Stimme schon zu.. ach jo müsste man sich ordentlich beraten lassen bevor man zu derartigen Kundgebungen kommt ..
I don’t believe I have seen this said an informative way before. You really have clarified this for me. Thanks!
Thank you for this plugin. It works very well on all of our sites
This looks like exactly what I’m looking for. However, I’ve had it installed for a couple of days now and it registers no clicks. I know that I’ve gotten them because I’ve received adsense revenue for them. Is there a setting that I missed? I installed the plugin and activated it, then left the default settings as they appeared to cover all the clicks I would want to track.
Thanks!
Have just downloaded this plugin and find it excellent and feature-rich. Thank you very much.
excellent!
How to make public the statistics of a particular link?
Sorry my english
Hi,
how do you use standalone links that are created through the admin pages of this plugin? i don’t quite get it.
J
Excellent plugin. But there is no option to disable the log in non-admin members’ dashboard. I just don’t wanna show my click statistics to all of my members. Please add this option asap. 10x
Hi, thank you for that great plug-in! I like it to watch my outgoing links to monitor how the traffic spread in my projects. But there is one thing that does not work. If I use the calendary to see the tracked results of yesterday or another example day – I get a “page not found” info…
Do you have a tipp to fix it?
thank you
Nice written thanks for sharing me you knowledge about the wordpress widgets and any more….

A really great plugin. A nice feature would be link tracking in e.g. a text widget.
Regards.
Looks like the reports are broken above v2.9. Any news on a fix coming out soon?
This doesn’t seem to work, at all. What’s up?
What is the proper procedure to uninstall assuming it added the code to links?
I’m experiencing the same thing as Tom! I installed the plugin however, it isn’t tracking any of the links.
The time logged on clicks are showing incorrect. As if they are in a different time zone. Any ideas how to correct this?
Is anybody given support to fix the bug of showing reports of the last days? Otherwise I do not need the plugin…
How boring the plugin dont work…:(
Not working on my blog WP Version 3.1.2.So upset…it looked really promising.
Looks like is started working after 1h…cool

We are using your click tracking plugin, are noticed, today, that every click is actually doubled so the numbers are becoming skewed. Any chance for a workaround, or a fix?
Does WP-Click-Tracker 0.7.3 allow you to export data and save it OR export a report and print it? I have been searching for ages and can’t find out. Thanks.
Hi Michelle,
No, there isn’t a way to export the data from within the plugin though you could always export it straight from the database.

Hi
How could I get 1. The website clicks 2. The unique website clicks displayed on a post? (i.e. there is only one link per post – I want to display how many times this link has been clicked – actually in the post itself)
Thanks!!!
Eric,
I’m interested in talking to you about some custom work. I’m launching a start-up and have just received my first round of capital. I’d used your plugin to test part of my model but now need some expanded capabilities. I figured you’d be the best starting point. Let me know if you’re interested.

I cannot get the configure menu to open, I can only get the Parse Settings to open, I can”t open, Admin Limits, Tracking Settings, Miscellaneous Settings, Sidebar Limits. I have two sites it works fine on my other site.
I removed the click tracker plugin, I never did get the menu to open.
I really would like the get it to work if I could. Can someone please help me if they can. I downloaded the pluging and actived it. clicked on configure and the only thing came up was the parse setting, I clicked on Admin Limits, Tracking Settings, Miscellaneous Settings, Sidebar Limits, and they wouldn’t open.
