Thanks for the ideas guys.
Yes, it is mainly click tracking that I’m interested in, not really banner rotation. I could probably write my own php code to rotate banners, so I most likely wouldn’t use that that feature of phpAdsNew. I try to avoid things with “admin panels” and such — I would rather find an example of code that I could adapt for my own purposes.
I will look at Hotscripts and see if they have any free code I could use — thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been searching around on Google for some information also — I found a page here which is quite close to what I want to do. I don’t know how to use that to track affiliate links, though. I think I would have to first direct those links to a counter page that would count the click, and then it would immediately redirect the page to the affiliate link / landing page. I think it would work, but I wonder if that’s the only way to do it? Hmm.
I’m trying not to get bogged down with this project, but I do think it’s very important to know where visitors click on a website. When you know that, you can place your better converting links on that area of the page.
Also, it would be nice if I could verify the data recorded by the affiliate tracking software. If I count 500 clicks out to XYZ Casino, the affiliate tracking software at XYZ Casino should show 500 clicks too. If their tracking software shows only 2 clicks, then there is a serious problem, and I would have to take down all of their links.
Does anyone here pay attention to this sort of thing?
How many of you actually track clicks and look at this stuff? I know there are some people who do pay attention. I would be interested in learning how you went about it — did you write the code yourself, did you use a pre-made software program (like phpAdsNew), etc.
