I know I can make a separate page on my website and use that as the website link in the emails but each email link is to different links on my website so I would have to duplicate my how website and I think there should be a simpler way?

Thanks in advance

I use hashtags for tracking link clicks, it's free, easy to use and can be tracked in Google Analytics If needed. You can even track offline clicks, example someone clicks a link in an offline PDF file and lands on your webpage.

In your case (emails) you could have multiple links in one email and track each individual link/traffic source.

You have two options either use an autoresponder e.g awaber to track who clicked your link from you mail or use URL shortners e.g bit.ly , goo.gl etc. to track clicks.
