My website has several links pointing to relevant external sites. Is there a way to log the links that are clicked on to exit my site or domain? Any help would be useful.
Thank you.

In IE only, and there is probably a better way, this works:
This way, when the page unloads, the iframe is set to log.php?linkhrefclicked.html. You would create a log.php (or anything else) that takes the page clicked from the querystring and stores it.
This could also have been done in a popup (and it would probably have been better) except anyone with a half-decent popup blocker would not save the link.

Code:
<body onunload="document.getElementById('log').src='log.php?'+document.activeElement.href);">
<iframe id="log" src="" style="display: none;"></iframe>
