Knowing what links users click brings valuable data on user behavior on your website. This will give you, as a webmaster, ideas on ideal locations to place links and anchor texts that will draw them to click. This can be helpful especially if you participate in affiliate programs or you want users to land on your social media pages and other specific websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six years ago, I wrote an article about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/track-outbound-links-google-analytics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Track Outbound Links using Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

It can help you in organizing all tracking codes that you place on your website in one place. If you want to unlock one of the secrets on how users behave in your website, Google Tag Manager can help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog post, I\u2019ll be showing the step by step procedure of setting up outbound link tracking using Google Tag Manager.
