Tracking affiliate (clickbank) clicks

I have a few pages with banners that lead onto a clickbank affiliate link

How can I track how many people clicked on those links?
(not sure if clickbank offers that functionality)

Thanks!

You could set something up via google analytics and track it that way

  Yeah,
  
  I use this code for my rss
  
  Code:
  
  onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'rss', 'clicked'])"
  
  Then I set it up in GA.
  
  This means that in GA I can track where in the site people are clicking and even from where. You can use custom reporting in GA to see where people are coming from and when they clicked. Thus you can focus on those areas
  
  I'm sure the same would apply for affilate clicks though

hi

i use the ?tid= feature in the destination clickbank url; to track which ad the click came from. This article explains it:

if you search on google for "clickbank tid" the first article will be a helpfull explanation

it is simpler to implement then GA tracking, but not sure whether this was what you had in mind. Hopefully it helped.
- Thanks
