    Hi,

    What I want to be able to do is track visitor from site A to a page on site B.

    I basically want to be able to track conversions of visitors I send to my own sites.

    Any way of doing this?

    Or, you could make your own counter with links something like:
    mysite.com/?ref=site1
    mysite.com/?ref=site2
    ...

    That's if you only tracking links between your own sites. Just at too mysite.com a string of ?ref=site1...

    and then use php or other language to track clicks for your sites ONLY. Update counder in database with each visit. You also could add an IP check and update counter on different IP but not the same one.

    Google Analytics should be able to do this.
