How to track bulletin advertising

[idzone]

I am trying out bulletin advertising. Suppose, my bulletin is sent out to 100k myspace people. How on earth can i determine the CTR?

One method I thought of was putting the link as redirect link and putting a new counter on that page. But this didn't work as the page got redirected before the counter code was reached.

Any good solutions would be helpful to all.

include a variable in the link, or create a custom landing page

well its pretty easy if you know how to use mysql and php. just include a short mysql script, for example, when the page loads have a mysql query that increases the visitor number to by using something like this views=views+1 , this is if you know php and mysql.
if you dont then there are scripts out there that does this, but if you need for a short period of time i can make a url for u that tracks the number of clicks your site makes, but only thing the url will be under my host, but that wont matter much b/c it will reload in bout 3seconds and be forwarded to ur page.

if you need to test url, send me ur website url and i can send u url that will track the clicks and you can decide if you want to use it and no i will not scre you over and have your traffic goin to my site and yes it'll be free.
y im doin this, just to help some webmastets.
let me know if u want to see a test url.
