How to Track Traffic to an Outbound Link with Google Analytics
Have an outbound link you’re desperate to get traffic reports for? Maybe the affiliate reservations site you use? Well you can track it using your Google Analytics!

Then, you can track who clicks on the link by looking at your “Top Content” in Google Analytics.
In Top Content, look for the name you gave the page. In this example, it would be “flyte.biz”. That’s all there is to it – it’s really that simple!
