"External links" report

You can use the report to find out which websites users visited by clicking the links on your site and how many times they did that.

An external or outbound click is a click on a link with a domain that differs from the domain of the site where a Yandex Metrica tag is installed. Flash banners are not considered outbound links.

If a click on a link triggers a redirect to another address, Yandex Metrica does not count the target redirect address – it is not displayed in the report.

To view the report, go to Reports -> Content -> Outbound links.

An example of this report is available for the Yandex Metrica demo tag.

Note that you can’t use goals in the report, and that there is a limited set of dimensions and metrics.
