Trying to make redirect links that can be tracked.

I do know about the http://www.drupal.org/modules/gotwo module and have been trying to get it to work but maybe I don't understand the logic. Or it doesn't suit my purpose.

I want to have a content type that gets counted when it's link is clicked. not clicked to view. So lets say I have a link to an advertisers ad. I want that click to register that "ad" content was viewed, but not send the user to the "full node". So they aren't faced with looking at a single node on the page.

I have tried http://drupal.org/project/cck_redirection, but that doesn't seem to work how I need it. It seems to "fire" the redirect when the node is viewed. The only other way I can think of to accomplish this effect is that when the user clicks on the link (in the teaser) to go to the full node, the node full page is then viewed and the redirect fires? I am really having a devil of a time trying to get this idea to work. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
