1. A method, comprising:
- acquiring computer instructions from at least one memory of at least one computing device for execution on at least one processor of the at least one computing device;
executing the acquired computer instructions, stored in at least one memory of the at least one computing device, on the at least one processor of the at least one computing device; and
wherein the acquired computer instructions to be executed comprise instructions for generating a link identifier to monitor network traffic;
wherein the executing the acquired computer instructions further comprises;
in response to receiving digital signals comprising a request for a webpage from a client device and prior to generating digital signals to serve the webpage to the client device;
generating digital signals to identify a link on the webpage requested by the client device, wherein the link comprises first content;
determining that the link is to a predetermined webpage to be tracked and, at least partially in response to the determining, generating digital signals comprising the link identifier for the link at least partially in response to the determining whether the request for the webpage includes a cookie for the client device, the link identifier comprising;
a first link identifier type at least partially in response to the request for the webpage including the cookie for the client device, ora second link identifier type, different from the first link identifier type, at least partially in response to the request for the webpage excluding the cookie for the client device;
generating digital signals to attach the link identifier to the link on the webpage, wherein at least partially in response to the attachment of the link identifier, the link comprises the first content and the link identifier;
generating digital signals to serve the webpage to the client device; and
at least partially in response to receiving digital signals comprising a request associated with the link, generating digital signals to store the link identifier in a log file in at least one memory based, at least in part, on the first or second link identifier type.
