Sitemeter Web Stats Adds Outgoing Clicks to it's Free Web Stats Package

As you can see in the screen shot above, it follows the same familiar format as all the other stats features in Sitemeter.

The red arrow points to it's location in the left-hand navigation bar.

I actually didn't notice the link had been there all morning until Sitemeter's blog entry came through my RSS Reader. It would be nice if they put a little NEW! next to additions like this in the future.

There are some caveats (according to Sitemeter's site):

"The out click can occur any time during the visit and is not necessarily a click on the exit page of the visit."

"Only the last out click of a visit is displayed even if the visitor clicks on several links during their visit."

"The out click tracking isn’t working for some browsers like Safari. I will establish a list of those browsers at a later date."

All in all it is working remarkably well. I'm having a blast this afternoon tracking my outgoing links. I have a paid subscription to MyBlogLog too, but I'm still up in the air about which I prefer.

There are some things I would like to see added. I hope to see rankings of the top outgoing clicks. Even if this is a paid item like in MyBlogLog, that's cool. But just give us that stat, please?

As with the other forms of reporting on the site, you can drill down to more specific information, like IP Address, location, etc, by clicking the numbered link next to each outgoing click.

Good job Sitemeter.
