You do not have the logfiles from the webserver hosting that target 
page, right? So you can't extract the data from the logfiles, right?

Use a clickthrough link. Instead of putting the direct link to the 
target page into your page, put there a link to a redirect on your 
server. And then count the number of requests to that link in the 
logiles.
