    I wan to track the traffic source from where the visitors are coming to my sales page.

    What is the best way to track that and which service/script should I use?

    I want the report something like:
    ========================================================
    Date Traffic Source Unique Visitors Sales
    =========================================================

    Why not just use Google Analytics for it?

    Thanks, Shawn for the suggestion.

    How can I tell google analytics about from where my traffic is coming from?

    well they can't track the email source in google analytics as it would show as "direct/no referrer" just put ?campaign=email2 or ?campaign=digitalpoint at the end of your email/forum/whatever urls
