Tracking clicks from frum signatures

[watman]

Hi,

 

Noob question is it possible to track clicks from forum signature links? I know there are ways to do this when buying solo ads?

 

If it is what tools would people recommend?

Google Analytics or most analytic programs will track traffic sources. Assuming there are no other links from a forum, that would be a good indicator and a simple way to do it.

 

You can also use some sort of redirect like Bit.ly to track it.

So would something like piwik be OK?

Sure you can track clicks, the easiest private way is to simply use hashtags:

 

• hxxp://domain.com/favorite-ice-cream/#vanilla
• hxxp://domain.com/favorite-ice-cream/#chocolate
• hxxp://domain.com/favorite-ice-cream/#strawberry
• etc...

I have a step-by-step tutorial for tracking hashtag clicks on Warrior Forum. I should port that over to this forum some day.

Thank you all for the quick responses.
