How do I tell where a person browsing my site clicked in fro

Hello,

I would like a code that keeps track of where people browsing my site clicked in from. I am using various advertising methods, and would like to keep track of which ones are more or less effective.

Does anyone have any reccommendations?

Check out Web Log Explorer Log Analyzer. They offer a free download as well if you have access to your raw logs

Hello SDAdmin,
I don't know of a program that will tell you where they're linking from at a specific moment, but I know that in Yahoo!, right in the search bar if you type in "link:http://www.yoursite.com" (<--syntax) it will produce a list of any page in the web where there is a link to your site. I belive it doesn't include Bookmarks to you site though. Just links.

You might also check out Who's Visiting if you are able to install programs on your server.

It's kinda cheating, but if you use a bravenet hit counter...it gives you the referers url....

I've been looking for counters also, and I like bravenet but I was just wondering, if you put the counter on your site does it open you up to unwanted comercial ads?

Most counters usually do and they can slow your site down. Reviewing your raw logs is usually a lot better.
