Is there an Affiliate plugin or way to track affiliate links with 301...

Currently Im using 301 redirects for affiliate links in Ghost CMS. But with ghostboard analytics I can not seem to track traffic. So two questions. Is there a better way for affiliate links within Ghost? And how can I track these in a right way? Thank you!

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

I did this by connecting the website to Cloudflare, then served Google Analytics through Zaraz (available in free plan). After this, I set up a click listener for website links with rel=nofollow (a[rel="nofollow"] selector) for tracking affiliate link clicks in Google Analytics without additional software. Note: New Google Analytics (4) may require some experimentation to see clicks. Set up trigger in Zaraz (Action Name > Event Name = "Aff Click Track Property: href") for GA to create a new event and easily track clicks in Google Analytics.
