Outbound link clicks

See which external links your visitors click — automatically.

Dzati automatically records when a visitor clicks a link that leaves your site — no setup required. These show up in the Exit links breakdown on your dashboard, ranked by clicks.

What counts as outbound

Any link whose destination is a different domain than the page it's on — affiliate links, "Buy on the App Store" buttons, social profiles, partner sites, and so on. Links within your own site are tracked as normal page views instead.

Why it's useful

  • See which partners, stores or social profiles actually get clicks.
  • Measure how many people reach an external checkout or app listing.
  • Spot the calls-to-action that send people *off* your site.

Tracking a specific click yourself

If you want to count a button or interaction that isn't a normal link, send it as a custom event:

js
dzati.track('clicked_appstore');
Note: Outbound clicks appear under Exit links in the dashboard's breakdown panel. Switch the panel's dimension to "Exit links" to see them.
