Using GA to track traffic from a link

Hi all;

I have a information-based website. I post links to pages that pertain to my visitors. How can see how many visitors are clicking on a link to go outside my website?

For instance:
Home Page to a button that links to ABC Widget.com
How can I see how many visitors are actually clicking on that button?

Thanks

 

In Google Analytics there is a section in Admin – View – Goals where you can create goals you want to achieve for your website. The above examples you gave, you can easily figure it out by using that.

 

I will give it a try. Thanks.
I have been getting around 2300 to 3000 page views a month. However, I want to go deeper to see what links are hot and cold. My site has no advertising,
so revenue is not a factor.

 

Hi
Best way to track how many users are gone through from your website is just to implement outbound link tracking, here you are able to see how many users click on the link which you have given on your website. It can be done easily with the help of GTM.

hope this will work for you.

 

I think you should set goal in analytics that can help you track your outbound links.

 

If you want to track traffic on outbound links, you can use Analytics Events - event is a type of click that can track user interactions with content from a website other than your own. The other solution for tracking traffic from a link is setting a goal in analytics that will enable you to track clicks that take users to other pages.

 

Thanks

 

You can create a campaign tracking link or an event tracking link (if it is within your site only) to see who clicks on a certain link or button on your site. It is not that hard you can create links here, ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/campaign-url-builder/
