    Hello,

    I need your advice for a landing page I’m creating for a campaign online:

    1) How do I determine the number of people that download the free special report on my site? Can you know this the same way I track traffic in the stat counter?

    2) How do I hide the download page and redirect from both Google and people searching the net from locating them?

    Thanks for your assistance

    1) Install google analytics or another log analysis tool.
    2) Add nofollow tags to the link to the download page, and a disallow statement in your robots.txt file. This isn't foolproof; if you really don't want the link found password protect it.

    Thanks I have the first one covered. But how do I achieve this, "and a disallow statement in your robots.txt file." on the page?

    Thanks
