Tracking affiliate link clicks in Google Analytics allows you to measure the effectiveness of your affiliate marketing efforts. This can be done by setting up event tracking to capture clicks on your affiliate links.

Log in to your Google Analytics account and select the property you want to track.
Navigate to "Admin" and under the "Property" column, click on "Tracking Info" and then "Tracking Code" to get your tracking ID.
Add an onclick event to your affiliate link HTML code to send an event to Google Analytics. For example: Your Affiliate Link

Ensure that Google Analytics tracking code is correctly installed on your website to capture these events.
Use descriptive event labels to easily identify and analyze the performance of different affiliate links.
Consider using Google Tag Manager for a more streamlined setup and management of event tracking.
