Can't track link or goal from Mailchimp widget

I use an Mailchimp embed code on several pages of my website (e.g. sidebar of http://danwaldschmidt.com/blog). The links are not showing up in Clicky -- which means I can't track a campaign or a goal.

What am I missing? I have as a goal the link that you arrive at when your click "SUBSCRIBE" (e.g. http://danwaldschmidt.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&id=xxxxxxxxx). It is showing no traffic and I am not seeing any outbound links to that. All the while, people are clicking that link and subscribing to my newsletter.

1. Is this due to my Mailchimp embed?
2. Any ideas for fixing this?

THANKS.

Campaigns and Goals need to be executed on the page as they need to talk to the tracking script. They cannot be executed on an outward bound button in which the page you are linking to is not yours, nor has the tracking script.

The best route for a scenario like this is to use Clicky Events (or logs): https://clicky.com/help/customization/manual
