Tagging outgoing links?

    Hi
    I'd like to automatically append a (utm?) tag to all outgoing links so that the destination websites can easily see how much traffic my site sent their way.

    I currently have the free version of BA and don't see how this is doable. Perhaps in the PRO version?

    thanks

    Jacob

    Are you using BA for WordPress or XenForo?

    Do you really think sites would appreciate you adding Analytics campaigns to their reports? They can already see how much traffic your site sent them because Google Analytics already gives you a report for that based on referring URL/domain.

    If someone doesn't want to look at the report that Google Analytics already gives them for that, do you think they want to see it in other areas?

    I hadn't thought about it that way. Fair point

    Absolute agree with this - the last thing you want to do is pollute other website owners' analytics with what you think would be good tags. They really won't appreciate it. That's what the referrers report is for, as Shawn says.
