If you are using asp:Hyperlink for your links in the datalist, then I guess you can't count the hits. A hyperlink has no server side click event, therefore you won't be able to post back to record the hits. You can however, use a LinkButton and then on the click event of the control, you can do some logic like increment a variable that keeps tracks of your hits, and then use Response.Redirect. You can store it in a data store, a database for example. The drawback for using LinkButton is, it might cause a slow down because you are posting back to the server.
