Then in that page you could add a snippet of ASP code that would grab the redirect querystring and send them to that site. Also you would need to include the tracking code on the redirect page as well.
<%
Dim strRedirect : strRedirect = Request.Querystring("redirect")
Response.Redirect strRedirect
%>

MT version = 2.20 Pro
ASP site
Scenario: I have ads on other sites which I want to track clicks from. So I give the other site a URL on my site where I want to track the traffic and then redirect to the final destination.
This only works for me if I remove the Response.Redirect line, otherwise it seems to skip the tracking completely.

Click-through tracking
MetaTraffic isn't setup to track clickouts in an ideal fashion. This is something we are looking to improve significantly in an upcoming version.
I would use the campaign functionality and pass the visitors to a redirect page like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/redirect.asp?mtc=SITENAME&redirect=http://www.externalsite.com/
Then in that page you could add a snippet of ASP code that would grab the redirect querystring and send them to that site. Also you would need to include the tracking code on the redirect page as well.
<%
Dim strRedirect : strRedirect = Request.Querystring("redirect")
Response.Redirect strRedirect
%>
This is the way I would do it, hope this helps.
