    I have few banner ads on my forum, I have placed them using simple html <a href> and <img src> tags... and I cannot see that how many clicks any particular banner is getting.

    Is there any code that I can use it and see how many clicks those banners are getting?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    What I've done is let the banners clickthrough to a page which refreshes to the real target page. Assuming you have stats you can then see how many times the refresh pages were loaded and thus how many clicks the banner got.

    Hope this helps,

    Mike

    the usual method is to have a click-thru program on your server

    action="myclickthru.cgi? http:www.realsite.com/realpage"
