Might be getting clicks counting for double or more

[Mike Oltmans]

I have a single client who is getting clicks in the range of 9300 - 24000 when my average is closer to 3k.

The below is a sample link that is on there campaign (company name removed). They are tracking the clicks on their end is the extra http:// as a target messing up the bean counters?

Anyone got anything on this one?

Most likely there's some sort of email checking software in the middle that will verify the emails.

OK but why would your system be counting an extra few clicks?

@Mike Oltmans - If each checking software checks the email and the links inside it, then that will trigger multiple tracking.

I understand that but would your software be counting this as one link?
