Default Internal Link Source

Hi,


My webpage, http://www.innerwestmassage.com.au/giftcertificates.php lists a load of Sydney suburbs with internal link to other pages on my site. A lot of the links just go to the same pages.

My code is fairly basic but is there a way of recording which link (suburb) has been clicked so that I can monitor which suburbs are the most popular? Ideally I guess I'd like a email automatically sent to me with the suburb clicked (or alternatively displayed somehow within something like Statcounter).

All your links lead to the same page with no way of distinguishing them. Since it's a PHP page and you want to track the popularity of each link, my suggestion would be to append a query string that would do the trick.
For instance http://www.innerwestmassage.com.au/i...?sb=Abbotsford
will let you know that "Abbotsford" was clicked.
$_GET['sb'] is the global variable you can use for your tracking.

If you do not want the "?" then you can use the mod_rewrite and have a link
http://www.innerwestmassage.com.au/i...Abbotsford.php[/i]

Default Keeping track

Hi there,
I am not an expert but I use Google Analytics and it shows which links were clicked on and how many times. You will really enjoy it.

With most all analytic tools you should be able to see daily, weekly, monthly numbers on views fro each page.

BTW, I also use statcounter.com and they are more informative than google.
