Another way to do this is to take the user to a page that would
identify the clicked link (by ID, for example), store the visits data
to a database or a text file and then redirect to the corresponding
news. So, such link might look like this:
<a href="http://www.news.com/redirect.php?news_id=150";>read news</a>

Hope this helps.
