Link counter?

[Roych]

Hi

Maybe this was already asked but anyway!

I need a counter that would count clicked links by thier names.
Some kind of a link counter.

It would be great if the every link on the page would have been counted as separate, so if the name of the link (even if more links would be on the same page and both are linked to the same destination) would be LINK and or CONTACT the counting would be something like this...

Hits on LINK: 23
Hits on CONTACT: 12

I tried chcounter and mini_counter but they are both no good!

Is there a way to do this?

Hope you understand!

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no such module..

you would have to code it yourself, or hire a coder to it for you.

Clicking a link is something that happens in your browser. The website will not know if there are clicks done.
The only way to count clicks is by sending all links to a counter script and redirect to the requested link after it has been registered.

This would mean you cannot use any editor or script to generate links, because they will all need to be formatted in a non-standard way.

In theory something could be built in jQuery (outside the WB framework), maybe google can help here.

Hi,
here is something I just found, it is called CCount:

» Using PHP Click Counter

Not sure how to use CCount to count click? Here is a sample setup:

   1. You want to count how many times the link to Yahoo.com has been clicked from your website. You have the link pointing to http://www.yahoo.com and this is the HTML code on your website:
      <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Go to Yahoo!</a>
   2. Login into the CCount Admin panel. Open
      http://www.yourdomain.com/ccount
      and enter your admin password.
   3. Find the form titled Add a link. In the Link URL: enter the link you want to count clicks on. In this example you would enter
      http://www.yahoo.com

      Optionally you can also choose a name for your link (for example Link to Yahoo from homepage) and the number you want to start counting from (if you want to start counting from 100 enter 100 in the box).
   4. Click the Add link button and the link will be added to CCount.

      You will be given a link ending with click.php?id=ID where ID is a number, for example:
      http://www.yourdomain.com/ccount/click.php?id=1

      This is called a tracking link.
   5. Now instead of linking directly to the link you are counting clicks on, you need to link to your tracking link instead! In our example instead of linking directly to http://www.yahoo.com, you must link to
      http://www.yourdomain.com/ccount/click.php?id=1

      The HTML code you would use for your link is for example
      <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/ccount/click.php?id=1">Go to Yahoo!</a>

      When someone clicks on the tracking link CCount will count click on the link and then redirect your visitor to http://www.yahoo.com

So, based on this idea, you would need to code something like this and to format your links with tracking link which will be used as counter.

P.S.> Yes, I am from montenegro, but I dotn write montenegrian here, as nobody understands it

cheers

I think a solution is in jQuery + a little php script. (Dont know exactly how, but I am sure)

Add a onClick behavior to every <a href in the content of your template
with onClick you call a script like "/redirect.php?url=http://www.."
The script adds/counts the clicks and then redirects.
be shure to use 301 (permanent) for redirect.
