Is there a way in GA to setup tracking of the clicking internal URL that 301's to an affiliate ID?

Hey Peter,
Are you talking about setting up a goal in GA or simply tracking which links have been clicked? If it's the later then you can setup some javascript so when the link is clicked then you call
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', trackWhat, clickLocation, clickTitle]);
Which will create an event in GA which you can track, alternatively if you are looking for a GA goal you could try adding a virtual pageview to the link activated by javascript again:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/example.php']);
Just make sure you have that page set up as a goal in your GA setup.
Hope that helps!

Google Analytics Tracking Code Problems
I am having a problem with my Google Analytics tracking codes. The relevant GA tracking codes have been entered into the source code of certain sites I'm running campaigns on, but Google Analytics is still telling me that the tracking code hasn't been installed - yet it has. What could possibly be the problem here? I have checked that these sites don't run off multiple domains, and that the tracking code has been entered in the correct place within the source code - and yet I am still having problems with GA. Any suggestions?
