Help With Traffic Stats

OK, so this might sound like a stupid question but how do I check the stats for how many people are clicking on my links to other sites, including affiliate links? I'm currently using Google Analytics and I can't figure it out. If it's not possible with GA, are there any other free stats sites that show this?
Thanks,
Danielle

- No, I don't have answers for everything. lol ...
I have a blogging tips blog and I only have the answers for the most commonly asked questions in blogging forums. I'm glad I had the answer to your question. I choose to use wordpress stats and sitemeter on my blogs.

you could always read their tutorials -
It is possible with Google Analytics, but you need to let us know your blog platform and version. Here's how you can do it manually using the GA code:

If you use Wordpress on a self-hosted blog, there are Google Analytics plugins that automatically report outbound clicks for you. You would then just go to the Google Analytics dashboard, click "Content", go to "Top Content" and scroll down until you see the "outbound" tags. That's what I do.
