Hi Ryan, Personally I will go for the simplest.
i.e. Store all the links in a database... then on your main site, when someone clicks a link, it sends them first to a page which you look it up on the database and add 1 to the number of clicks. then redirects them to your customer's site. it will be very fast especially if you use cfenableoutputonly to prevent sending them a big file of whitespaces. so the table columns will be ( ID URL CLICKS ) you can add more for more info if needed.
