They say they are, but I've reviewed the source code and don't see how.
(ARGH - the link is townhall.com)
They aren't redirecting links that go offsite elsewhere - and they aren't using an apparent script (that I can see) that tracks the clicks.
Note: I'm talking about in the 'conservative links.' area.

you mean webhostingtalk? they may be but not exactly sure. the sourcecode mentions .php and since you cant really read those php files as I can see you cant tell.

I'm a bit curious as to why it matters? :)

Sorry, I meant townhall.com.

That makes things a bit more clear :) I was wondering why you were wanting to know if WHT tracked outgoing clicks :)

They could be tracking the clicks with google analytics.

That or via a cookie.

they claim there is an onclick java thing but that the URLs are masked.
But don't see any onscript click - I do see the parameters for it in the link, but no script.

Looked in the external js files?

Maybe you could ask them?

Not sure, but they seem to have quite a variety of javascripts.
If theres js functions on the anchor tag it shouldn't be difficult to find the function among those JS files. search for ".js" in the page source and load the JS files in your browser :)
