Two week anniversary
by Mubashar IqbalTwo weeks ago today I started working on Pod Hunt (https://podhunt.app).
I'm planning on sharing total metrics on a regular basis, and the two week birthday of Pod Hunt seems like a good time to start:
🏠 Visitors: 968
📄 Pageviews: 3,839
🙍♀️ Users: 140
📼 Episodes: 98
✉️ Subscribers: 48
🐦 Followers: 132
I recently started tracking outbound clicks on episodes, podcasts, and advertisements on the site:
Episodes: 435
Podcasts: 97 (Not all podcasts have links)
Advertisement: 58
Overall I'm very pleased with the response to Pod Hunt, and looking forward to the official launch coming soon!

Congrats!
How are you tracking outbound clicks? is it a route with params of the podcast id to a page with google analytics that then redirects to the podcast page? want to implement this for API List

I decided not to use javascript for this, all done server side.
I created an outbound route for each episode, podcast and ad typically:
/resource_name/id/outWhen a user hits that route, I log their user id (if logged in), ip address, browser info to a database table and them redirect to the external url for that resource.
I added rel=nofollow to all those links that should stop all search engines hitting them.
If I wanted to save that info to GA, I'd add a javascript call before the redirect to the route that logs the event to GA.
