Hi Kylah,

Do you have Google Analytics installed on you wordpress blog? You can use it to track your outbound links. The new code for GA has events tracking included in it. Alternatively, you can add in additional code to track clicks via page views in GA. How do I manually track clicks on outbound links?

There's a very good post on it here and part 2. tells you how to implement it.

Not sure if there is a wordpress plug in for this so might be worth a look around.
