Wouldn't this be classified as cloaking?
Also why not just parse the IIS logs unless?
Just a few questions. I really like the Idea though.

Yes, you cloak the destination from spiders which you have to do in order to get the correct number of humans following the links. Google does the same in their search results. Check the onmousedown attribute.

The majority of websites in the world runs on managed hosting where you don't have access to the IIS logs.

Yeah, that's pretty much going to be seen as cloaking.

Maybe having JS that globally catches every click event would appear less devious.
