Hi, another question here by me:
I've figured out how to track outbound links, but I haven't found out how to link that to my goals in Microsoft Analytics. For me, as an affiliate marketer it's rather important to know how much my affiliate links are clicked on for my report.

I can't find how I can link my outbound links to my goals or funnels.

Any ideas here?

Cheers,

Ka Pari

You could install a automatic tracker script like described here:
automatic-tracking-of-outbound-links-t64.html

Then you'll need to set up the goals as if you were tracking a normal folder only now it's called "/outbound/" and has an url attached to it.

What is the main benefit of acquiring outbound links? Do they aid in SEO rankings or do they serve another purpose?
