Re: UKNM: Tracking links

[Rajesh]

Hi ...


Your clients Web logs (generated automatically by Apache, IIS etc. Web

servers)

can generally include a referring URL ...

So for everyone who visits your site, the site they came from can also be

tracked.

By trailing through the logs or using Web metrics/reporting software (eg.

Webtrends), you can list all referring sites over a given period.


Saves the manual effort of having users state where they're from ...
