    I use the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin and I've found that it doesn't track outgoing links correctly. In particular it doesn't track sidebar links and image links.

    Do you have any idea how to solve this?

    Is there any other software or plugin that can give me detailed stats of outgoing clicks?

    Try inserting the analytics code directly into your header template. I know that all will say that it should be installed in footer, it happened many times when functions among the template to interfere with the analytics code and break it, so to be sure put it into your header.php file.

    Yoast Google Analytics for WordPress Free plugin works fine with me. Seems to be tracking outgoing links just fine via content/event tracking.

    I personally refuse using plugin to add google analytics code, i just pasted directly in the file and it has been working fine for me so far, even i switched or change theme two times.
