Thanks Stephen. Unfortunately I don't think we did set up a gateway file for the textlink - I could possibly initiate this though. Is there any other way to get a guide for historical data - maybe looking at the Request Report?

Short answer: try turning on the Redirection Report with the command REDIR ON Long answer: It depends how the clickthroughs are set up on your site. If the banner ad just links straight out of your site, you never see the request to the next site, so you can't count them. But as you're from a high-profile company I assume you've done the "right" thing, and the banner ad links to a gateway file on your site which immediately redirects the user to the external site. This gateway file will then show up in the logfiles and you can count it. But most likely it has a 301 or 302 "Redirect" status code in the logfiles. In that case, it will appear in the analog's Redirection Report, not the Request Report.
