    Am I able to create custom links to my website so that I am able to track the traffic coming from each separate link?

    Thank You

    if you know anything about php you can create variables that you can place in links that will tell you where people are coming from. Affiliates do that often. Just need some programming knowledge and a database.

    you can use my site for that its in my signature! Link Tools
    or if you want a custom subdomain and other features try m1nk.com
    this is a link redirecting / shrinking, Tracking, customizing and password protecting service
    all you have to do is enter the url you want to track and it will generate you a url like yourlinkname.m1nk.com
    Ru01.com/YourLinkName
    to track links click on the stats tab and enter your link info!
    this is not the best method for this but it is super easy probably the easiest !!

    for links on your site not incoming links id recommend something link google analytics's for tracking the links on your website

    Note: the following require Analytics or a similar tracking system. All you need to do is add a bit of extra code.

    Incoming Link Tracking:

    http:// your url here dot com?tracking-keyword


    Outgoing Link Tracking:

    <a href="http:// yourwebsitehere dot com/" onClick="javascript:
    pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/tracking-keyword);">anchor-text-here</a>


    Click Tracking:

    <a href="http:// yourwebsitehere dot com" onClick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/downloads/tracking-keyword'); ">
