I want to track clicks on exit links, that are placed in 3rd party content, for example on Twitter. I also need the timestamps of the clicks.
Google Analytics can't be embedded in 3rd party content.
Another solution is to use a URL shortener like bit.ly. However, bit.ly or goo.gl don't log the time of the click with any better granularity than a full day.
su.pr shows the time for the past day in its analytics graph. The analytics download only includes the day, not the time.
cli.gs was touted as having the most detailed analytics, yet it doesn't show the time either, and forces the user through a preview page.
Any ideas?
