Track Outbound Links from Emails?

Hi there,

Site - mattrutherford.co.uk

In my previous newsletter provider (Squarespace) - I could easily track ‘clicks’ on my email newsletters. I can see open rates on Ghost, but is there a simple way for me to track ‘outbound’ links clicked?

Thanks!

I wish Ghost added this as a feature

You could use something like bitly.com to get create tracked links that work anywhere. Quite a few publishers use this method :)

Yep - I had a good think about this today - and installed a link shortener on my own webserver. This will do the job until it becomes easier with Ghost.

My newsletter is called ‘Stuff that MattRs’ - and the link shortener domain I bought was stff.me - so everything works well. I wrote this up in a guide in case it’s useful to anyone.
