Link tracking/masking questions
 

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a script or whatsoever, that track my clicks. I want to know how many times or on what links the visitors have clicked.

Also wondering how i hide my clicks like www.domainname.com/go/nameofsponser (can this be done in .htacces) or what.

Thnx for the input guys ;)

AFAIK you can track your clicks via Google Analytics. If it comes to hiding links from search engine spiders I do it this way:

1. Create folder in your domain directory. (ie domain-name.com/redirects/)
2. Disallow access for all spiders to this directory via robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /redirects

3. Create an php file for each link you want to hide and place them in redirects folder (ie. nastydollars.php). Inside the file place a header location redirect:

?php
header("Location: http://www.nastydollars.com/");
?

4. Now link only to files you have created (http://domain-name.com/redirects/nastydollars.php).

Thnx :) sounds great, i will look into it :)
