Tracking a link-click?

I know this is done with some CGI scripts, but since I don't know any, can anybody tell me how can I track how many times people have been clicking on a link that is on my site?

Thanks a lot!

Depends really, I did it quite simply by reloading an asp page. When the page was reloaded it would update a table in the database which stored only one field (Number of clicks), then it would redirect to the link.

Hope this helps!
