Hit Counter on a specific Link?


Question

Hi Guys,

This might be a simple thing to do, but basically ive got a very small html basic website with a link on it going to a third party site (Which i have no ftp access to)

I want to be able to tell the owner of the third party website how many people have clicked his link on my website.

Can this be done? :)

Thank You!

Yes, or at least I imagine so since there is the whole "pay-per-click" advertising.

However, I don't know what you need to get it working. Try googling "how to make pay-per-click links" or something.

Your page -> His page

That's a standard link... BUT, how about this:

Your page -> intermediary page -> His page

So your intermediary page (which you would build on your site) could be "linkForwarder.php"... linkForwarder.php?URL=http://www.hissite.com

So in the code, you'd get the URL requested, log it, then forward the user.

Well, you could store the intermediary page on any other server with PHP (or any scripting language) access?

But then you may as well use Google Analytics
