Tracking Link Clicks (such as Websitepublisher)

[iKwak]

On websitepublisher.net, there is a link tracking system, where the admin would know which links are clicked how many times and other information.

Where could I find the exact script so that I can set one up to track which pages and links are popular??

And is this all the link tracking script do?
TIA.

I didn't use a premade script, but its easy to code yourself.

You just need a database with 3 fields, link url, link id, and clicks. Reference the script with linkid and have it pull up the url, increment the clicks, and forward the user on.

If you want to track clicks by time period (day/week/month/year), you'll need to record the date somehow.

One way would be to create a new record for every click, with a field for the date and a field for the URL.

Another way would be to create a new record for a day's worth of clicks for a given URL. This would cut down on database size, and tracking clicks for some smaller time period probably wouldn't be worthwhile anyway.

You could always use a simple script like linkster... http://studio.dreamdolphin.com/?section=products&page=php_scripts&script_id=1
