Track outbound link clicks with MyBlogLog

Want to know which outbound links visitors to your website are clicking?

MyBlogLog is a web statistic utility that tracks where you send your visitors.

MyBlogLog is a simple tool. Place the javascript inside a footer and track your whole site. The website doesn’t need to be a blog. Any website with outbound links will do.

MyBlogLog includes basic reports. Nothing fancy, then again, nothing fancy in terms of reports is needed.

The free version does not keep historical data. Pay $3/month or $25/year to enable historical data.

A cool feature is the “Today’s Top Links” chart. Insert the chart into a left or right nav bar and let your users see what other users are clicking on.

MyBlogLog provides insight into user behavior:
What are your users interested in?
What links NEVER get clicked?
What links ALWAYS get clicked?
Do they click sponsored links? (note: right now mybloglog is unable to track Adsense links)
Which link placements get clicked the most?

I’ve only had MyBlogLog up and running for a week. Given such a small data set, I have been able to see a few patterns develop. Outbound links inside my main articles are clicked the most. Links embedded in a blog post are second. Outbound links in the navigation areas are a scant third. It will be interesting to see how this trend continues to hold up over a longer period of time.
