Are you able to control the link from, or only the link to?
If you can indetify the link, have a look at: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55578
This will give you the ability to track via google analytics.

My client is selling ad space on their site, and they'd like to be able to see how many people click on each ad. Therefore, the client will want to review the number of people who responded to an ad one of their clients placed, rather than the visitors to their own site.

Outside of my scope though... maybe consulting.

I've seen clients setup their ads/social media links by having them go to an intermediate page like "outbound.php" that tracks their click and then forwards them along.
Hope that helps,

You could num of your ad to the outbound page, then process it accordingly. So the link might look like: outbound.php?ad=5. Then you only need one page to handle ad counting.
