Say I was to make some QR code stickers that lead to a link that is not under my admin, would there be a way to track how many times it's accessed through the QR code?

Do you have a web server you do control?

I would achieve this by pointing the QR to one of my own web servers, with the link being a redirect to the customer site. You get a log of the number of people who accessed the QR code, customer gets their impressions, and the user has minimal impact.

You could even do it more than once and track stats on individual campaigns - charting their success.

Hmm.. No I don't. But I'll look into it I guess. Thanks

Most short URL generators can track "click" counts. Shorter URLs make for smaller QR codes as well.
