You could run it like this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT='0; URL=http://www.the-url-you-want-it-to-go-to.com'>
and on that page simply put a hit counter.
The whole page should look like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT='0; URL=http://www.the-url-you-want-it-to-go-to.com'>
</head>
<body>
<hit counter code>
</body>
</html>
