Tracking impressions?

[deep]

Hello,

What is the best way to track impressions on? I need to se how many times my banners have been viewed and clicked.

Thanks!

Hi,

Perhaps by using a PhP script which will increment a value in the database with 1 whenever it is loaded, and which will output an imagestream.

You can then include this page as an image on your website:

<img src="BannerPage.php?image=3" name="Banner by Me">

You can do a similar thing for the clicks: Whenever the banner is clicked, a page on your server is laoded, which increments the correct value in your counter file/database, and then performs a header redirect to the correct page --

cool, i didnt know that a page could be loaded in an image. If I understood right the page will not "load" only be "read"?

Lets say that one of my partner sites dont have php on their server. Will this methode still work (since the page that counts the impressions is still located on my server when it loads)?

Thanks!

Yes it should. As long as the page which is creating the image stream is on a server with PhP on it.
