Counting the number of clicks without redirect?

    I see some directories that count the number of clicks on a link without having a redirect page. How is that?

    The link could have a Javascript event that counts the clicks, or it could redirect to a PHP page that has a header redirect to the new page (therefore seemingly instant).

    With javascript how they save the result?

    And about the other the whole point is not to have a redirect because people wouldn't be interested in adding links.

    AJAX could send the click event to a php file that stores it in the database.
