Ok apologies, I’m adjusting things as we go. I am the “tech guy” for our blog and I am relaying our requirements from the author.

Here is what we need – a count of all outbound links to a certain domain in a specified time. If there’s a spreadsheet that logs each individual outbound link with the time/date I’d be in business too. I’d be okay with paying for this functionality.

So what does this excel spreadsheet show me?

Time and date of the outbound link click I mean.

Sounds good, does this include the time and date?

That would be fantastic actually.

I just need a count of outbound to each domain we send hits to.

There’s actually a report under “content” called “Top Outbound Links and Downloads”. This would be perfect if I could see a full list without having to scroll through pages, and also if there was a total count instead of a percentage.

Many thanks.

Hi,

In installed it within wordpress, I searched for it and installed the plugin that way.

so have you enabled the tracking method?

Yes

links should show up in your GA stats.

That would be great, but either I’m missing something or they’re nowhere to be found. Is it as simple as turning on tracking like you mentioned above? Everything else about analytics is working great.

I appreciate you taking time to help me, thank you.

Hi Gerald,

This is the exact plugin I mentioned in my first post.

I think that’s an over-complicated solution to what I need, I’m not sure if it will even do what I need.

What do other people do to track outbound links? Am I the only one that needs this functionality?

Hi, forgot to mention the same – this only started happening with the new update.

Anyone?

Thanks very much, it’s easy when you know how!

Hi,

Sorry about the lack of info.

To answer your questions I am using the Attitude theme by theme horse, I am trying to change formatting on a table, and yes the theme uses body_class() in the body tag.

Thanks.
