Tracking JS Bannerclicks

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 11.2006

Hi,

I have a problem, I need to track JavaScript Codes, that means that our JS Script deliver a banner (img, flash or iframe) and we have to track views and clicks on that banner.
the problem is that we can only user js, php or perl.
the user can only use js, so we have to find a solution to track views and clicks on a banner which is delivered by an javascript snippet.

i didn´t find anything yet, hope you can help me with this problem…

our banner on someone elses website, the owner of the site just includes our javascript code to their page.

@bokehJan 11.2006 — On their page they have something like the following:[code=php]<a href="http://yourDomain.com/path/file.php"><img src="http://yourDomain.com/path/banner.gif"></a>[/code]

All you need to do is hook a unique query string to the url here: [I]<a href="http://yourDomain.com/path/file.php"> [/I]and then have php read it if the url is accessed. Example: [I]http://yourDomain.com/path/file.php[color=red]?referer=client1[/color][/I].

Now all you need to do is in php:[code=php]if(isset($_GET['referer'])){
// save details to mysql
}[/code]

Success!
