It looks like it might, but as you say, it's not a WP plug-in and it doesn't look simple. There's tons of software out there to do this kind of thing, but most of it comes in these huge enterprise-scale silos of multi-featured mess and/or third-party services and APIs. I just want something that will let me test different banners and links on a blog (very easily and with a minimum of fuss) to see which ones get clicked more. Since I'll be using it on many different blogs, the idea of having it in a WP plugin (for instant, painless, no-thought installation) is attractive. If I've learned anything in my ten years as a webmaster, it's that simple tools get used while complicated tools languish.
For the moment I've found a kludge that combines
Datafeedr Random Ads with the individual link tracking feature of
WP-Click-Tracker. That gives me comparative click-through stats on any number of banners that I'm trying to compare, anyway. But ease-of-use is not quite there.
