    I would like to recommend for tracking outbound link, you use <a href="http://www.example.co.uk" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outgoing/example.co.uk');">

    instead of

    <a href="{$URL}" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/directory/{$URL}');">Click here to visit {$TITLE}</td>

    you will get result of exit links in Gooogle Analytics.

    yes

    <a href="http://www.example.co.uk" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outgoing/example.co.uk');">

    similarity for each and every page you should use

    ('/outgoing/example1.co.uk')
    ('/outgoing/example2.co.uk')... and so on..
    I will make your tracking easy and simple.

    You can also use the virtual page views in Goals too ;)
