    track clicking source to my site

    I would like to start offering an "Affiliate" program on my website.
    Can anyone offer a script that I can use to track clicking to my site
    from an affiliate's link?

      No. You don't want to use a script for that, particularly not
      client-side scripting. You check your server logs.

              Most sites who have affiliates have ids for each site. A server-side
              program grabs the affilate from the link and processes it, usually with
              databases and other cool stuff that is totally OT here. :)

              Check out amazon.com affiliate stuff - everyone has a link with their
              own id in it. See my WildAtHeart site in my sig below for an example.

                  client side scripting won't work well because it will be browser
                  dependent.
                  the best thing is to use a cgi script or join a paid tracking site or
                  of course battle with the hosts log file.
