Are you using MVC ? It can be done easily with that.

Solution 1

If you want to execute server code upon a click in a link, then you should use the ASP.NET control <asp:LinkButton>

XML

if it is LinkButton you can do it inside onclick event

<asp:LinkButton ID="MyLnkButton" runat="server" onClick="MyLnkButton_Click" Text="Click Me!">

protected void MyLnkButton_Click(Object sender,EventArgs e)
{
   Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
}

Do you have any privilege to work on 3rd Party website?
Like in case you can create a web siervice, which is acknowledged when user visit to that site.

no i don't have privilege to work on 3rd Party website what i am making is an marketing engine
so email will be made by user he or she can add any link to any location i want to track how many users have clicked the link in the email so that i can show them in the report this person has clicked the link in the mail

Solution 3

See there no way to track that.
You can do a trick.
1. First attach a query string with the link
2. Then redirect to your page & when user click that link it should redirect tot your page
& in code level check the query string & redirect automatically to desire link.

Click On Link---->Your own page---> Desire webpage (Say Google)
