clikStats

by Adrian on Dec.29, 2008, under Programming

clikStats is a wordpress plugin that automatically detects the current links within each post.

ClikStats is retrofitable, and requires no special provision from any classes or code.

Once activated, clikStats will compile who, when, what data which can be viewed through the back office.

The beauty of this plugin is in its portability, it can be used straight out of the box, and provide usefull visitor information, without the need to reverse engineer your posts.

Download the latest version (v0.7) of clikStats from here

Simply add the unzipped folder to your pluggins folder, and make it active to start logging clicks.

Have fun

    Hello
    I installed cklickstats. good plugin, useful, but a problem: It cuts the links after “&”. Example: this is a link from google maps afer clickstart: http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q — this is the full link: Link removed

    I can see this complete link in the footer line of the browser.

    Any help?

    Regards
    Karl

    Plugin Perfect!
    Would be easier to visualize if ordered by number of clicks and adding a simple search.
    I suck with programming languages. If it were not so, you help.

    This plugin would be perfect if it records the post IDs too so that it is easy to identify which posts generate the most outgoing links. This would be extremely handy and is something no other plugins I can find do at this point.

    Thank you for the awesome work.

    I am using wp 2.7 and the plugin caused my readers trouble getting to the post when clicking the “read more” link on the home page and taking them to a 404 error page. I had to deactivate it. Any fixes would be greatly appreciated.

      Clikstats will work with any hyper-link embedded within an anchor point, so an anchor point with an image will work.

      However if your advertisements are javascript, clikstats will not work.

      In that case OpenX or google-Admanager should work fine for you, and is what I use on footy-boots.com.
      (should work fine on your football site)

        “Clikstats will work with any hyper-link embedded within an anchor point, so an anchor point with an image will work”

          Assuming your banners are indeed HTML based and setup correctly, it would be just a matter of activating clikstats in the wordpress back office to start recording the clik through rates.

          Hope that helps
