Tut was es soll! Ich habe es installiert, nachdem ich festgestellt habe, dass die
Klickrate eines Affiliate Programms nicht alle Klicks zählt. Dieses Plugin bestätigt
dies nun! Schön wäre eine Export Möglichkeit zu csv oder so, allerdings passt das
auch schon so… Gute Arbeit Peter!

Thanks Pete! It’s easy to use and no configuration necessary. Is it possible to 
see which pages links are coming from?

I couldn’t for the life of me get Google Analytics to track external links. This
plugin gives a simple way to do just that, locally. Feature request however, would
be to include a date picker to pull stats from vs set blocks of time like “last 
month” so we can see how links perform in compared periods of time (i.e. June 2017
vs June 2018).
