Links that expire after the first click? Or after a certain amount of clicks or time. Whichever is easier.

if you want to do it with a database, rather than a cookie... in the email, you have an ID like ID=12 that is unique to the person.. or the ID is for a particular URL and after so many incremental clicks, you do something else.
when they land on your page, you mark in the database that they visited via the unique ID (so this helps you to confirm they clicked through), and the next time they click through on the email, your database lookup will see they were already there, and then redirect to another URL or display some message.
