Hey everyone,
We publish a travel magazine and we're going to put a few small ads in our next issue, but we're having trouble tracking outbound links. Our app uses an open source magazine platform that basically wraps a website into an app, making it easy for non-coders to build and publish magazines (its called Baker if anyone else is interested in magazine publishing: http://bakerframework.com/)
So either we need to track the link from inside the HTML page, or from inside the App somehow. As a not very experienced coder, I figured it would be easier to do it from inside the HTML. My first thought is to use a link to our own website and then a 301 redirect to the advertiser's website, thereby allowing us to track clickthroughs, but this seems overly complicated. Is there a simpler way?
