My biggest problem with the common implementations of click tracking
is that they make a common use pattern of mine worthless.
Google's click-tracking works by having every search result link to a
horrible url like:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.random.org/&ei=l6iMQ_bmBMT2YKiBzekH&sig2=GABCdvvbnFGHbRk_Qax1OQ
and bollocksing the statusbar text to look the the actual url
(http://www.random.org in this case). In practice, I find that this
leads to me doing a search to find a url to paste into an email/blog
post, right-clicking to copy the url, and finding that I have this
horrible redirect url instead. It's a pain.
We won't do anything that will break right-click. This is a fundamental
user gesture for links.
I don't believe the javascript rewrite is necessary - you just need <a
href=.... onclick=... >
