    I'd use Google Analytics.

    Failing that, you could probably track down a script that would do it.

    In many cases your web logs can provide you that information. I would start there, as there is other information in your logs you might find useful as well.

    To track links you can use a PHP script. You should be able to see the stats for internal pages using something like Google analytics.

    If you want to track how many times a link is clicked on, for example going to an external site I would use a PHP click tracking script.

    I have a very basic script I put together to do this for some of my sites by storing the click info in a mySQL database.

    If you do a search for PHP click tracking you will find loads.

    You can also track the web log data through awstats.

    Google Analytics is probably the easiest option.
