track clicks on external website


Is it possible to track clicks on other websites, which I have no ownership? The Google analytics can be used to track the activities on my own website. But I would need to track if user clicked on the link on an external website.

Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • No, you can not track external websites. However you can track an event, if the user clicks on a link on your homepage which leads to an external page. Or you can track the referral information, which tells you where the user came from.
