A change has been made to the way a click on a link to an external Web site is recorded in the reporting system. Prior to this system change, a click on a link on the microsite leading to another Web site that was tracked through a redirected link would appear in the reporting system as a click from email. This change only affects users who have turned on the external link tracking feature on their micro-site (which has been in Beta testing) and that have a significant number of users clicking these links within the micro-site.
The result of this change is that some users may see a decrease in the reported number of clicks from email and an increase in the reported number of micro-site visits. The clicks on external links on the microsite will now be tracked as microsite visits instead of clicks. This provides a more accurate representation of the number of people clicking on an email and excludes clicks that might come from other places.
