Tracking Share Clicks

sirensofsong

I use statcounter to track my stats and noticed in the 'Recent Came From' log the following: us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=8ojmq1eg8gsso

I assume this means someone used the Share - Send an Email link to forward a photo from my site.

I was able to find out which photo was emailed, but is there a way to track the other Share button clicks? It would be interesting to know which photos are being shared/embedded.

This referrer URL just means that someone got a link to your site via a Yahoo email. It doesn't necessarily means that the Share button was used. One person could have copied the URL from the URL bar of the browser and emailed it to anyone with a Yahoo email account. When, they click on the link in their email, it will record Yahoo mail as the referrer.

Thanks for the insight. That makes it all the more reason to be able to track clicks!
