Need link tracking + email open rate software - Any recommends?

I need a solution to track link clicks that don't look like ugly tracking links.

Example:

Myurl.com/pretty-link-here.html

Vs.
clicks.myurl.com/link-here.html/?abunchoftrackingcodejibberish

Awebers new analytics has link tracking, but the links still smell like tracking links. I'm looking for something that looks like a completely normal link.

It also would be nice if the software would also track email open rates via some kind of image code I can put in the html emails.

It would also be nice to have a central hub for all affiliate links re-directs (that look like normal links), that can easily be changed where they redirect to without having to change any other code.

There's gotta be something like this somewhere.

Any recommends?

thanks

    Dynatracker does everything you're asking for. I've been using it for years. Very easy and reliable.

      Hi there
      I am new to the forum and was glad to see some of these concerns from others about links. I have the same problem with my site. I have the main site, but I was wanted to put the other two on the main page and be able to access the sites. However, when I do, it does not bring the website up. When I added the link in my administration area, I thought I linked it correctly. I'm not sure what's up with this or even how to fix this. My webpage is through a company that was predesigned for new online business owners. Any advice on how to fix this?

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the recommend.

    Can you give me an example of what a dynatracker tracking link would look like?

    Does it also track email open rates?

    Thanks

      Like this:
      Code:
      http://www.yourdomain.com/any_folder/any_name.php
      Where any_folder is the folder where you choose to save the redirect scripts. (I use a single letter for mine, but you can call it recommends or anything else.) And any_name is the name you assign to the particular tracking link.

      It generates code for tracking pixels (which it calls "actions") and tracks them the same as it tracks anything else. You can embed them in emails, thank-you pages, or anywhere you like.

    I came across a free php program that you can setup on your own site for this.

    It shortens the url and tracks them as well.
