If could be useful for your readers I'll like to suggest ClickMeter (www.clickmeter.com)
That's an online link tracking service (most of the features are free).
You can aggregate data, analyze the country clicks come from and much more.
This tool is useful for beginners and for professional, it can track up to millions click for every account.
ClickMeter contains tools to detect click-fraud activities if you are paying for clicks or you are in a click-exchange program.
