Tracking Hits or Views on CL AD's

Hello everyone.
I have been doing some pretty serious craigslist posting in the past month. I have hired an indian guy to post my ad's 3 times a day for 12 cents per stuck ad. Good deal if you ask me. None the less....I have been getting a boat load of responses but would like to know where everyone is looking at and how many people are actually viewing these ads on a daily basis. Do any of you know of any web analytic sites or companies that provide this type of service thats compatiable with the craigslist rules. I would need it to fly under their radar so that the ad's wouldnt get flagged or ghosted by craigslist. I have heard of CLhits but am weary of using it and getting the ad's flagged. If anyone uses this service please chime in.

Do you all have any good ideas that might help me?
Thanks!

I just take my link and redirect it and make another link thru a company that tracks hits on your redirected link (viralurl example)

I'm also interested in this.

Let me know if it can be done through text ads.

thanks!

I prefer not to give out my craigslist poster. I might be willing to if you can find a successful way to track my ad views. most of my ad's have images in them that are hosted by photobucket that has a tracking service in it but not on individual photos, its more so a tracking for anything viewed in that account, so essentially i would have to create a photobucket account for each image/ad. No one knows of any html tracking that goes undetected by craigslist? Possibly a image hoster that tracks the number of times an individual image load on a server? soneone on here has to be able to help with this topic...

I do my tracking on my own server using awstats.
