Track Banner Clicks
this question. My website is written in simple HTML and hosted on a windows server at secureserver.net (via GoDaddy). I use an ASP Web Stats program called Power-Stats to track my website traffic, search keywords... The data is stored in an Access Database hosted on my website. I'd like to be able to track how many clicks I get on each of my banner ads, however I currently don't identify them in any specific way, the image just has a hyperlink to the advertiser's URL. I was told that to track the clicks on the banners I'd need to use an some sort of ASP code to identify each Obviously I don't know anything about ASP Programming, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction or some sample code I could fiddle with. This is the script I have in an includes file to rotate my banners, so you know what I'm working with: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin var how_many_ads = 8; var now = new Date() var sec = now.getSeconds() var ad = sec % how_many_ads; ad +=1; if (ad==1) { txt=""; url="http://www.thinprint.com/rd_suite/"; alt=""; banner="images/rdsuite64_768x92-2.jpg"; width="768"; height="90"; } if (ad==2) { txt=""; url="http://www.thinprint.com/rd_suite/"; alt=""; banner="images/rdsuite64_768x92-2.jpg"; width="768"; height="90"; } if (ad==3) { txt=""; url="http://www.remote-scan.com/thinclients"; alt=""; banner="images/remote-scan-thin-client-1.jpg"; width="768"; height="90"; } if (ad==4) { txt=""; url="http://www.remote-scan.com/thinclients"; alt=""; banner="images/remote-scan-thin-client-2.jpg"; width="768"; height="90"; } if (ad==5) { txt=""; url="http://www.2x.com/thinclientserver"; alt=""; banner="images/thinclient_inchtape728x90.gif"; width="728"; height="90"; } if (ad==6) { txt=""; url="http://www.2x.com/thinclientserver"; alt=""; banner="images/thinclient_shorts728x90red.gif"; width="728"; height="90"; } if (ad==7) { txt=""; url="http://www.tricerat.com/products.php?sessioncomputing"; alt=""; banner="images/triCerat_468_1.gif"; width="468"; height="80"; } if (ad==8) { txt=""; url="http://www.tricerat.com/products.php?sessioncomputing"; alt=""; banner="images/triCerat_468_1.gif"; width="468"; height="80"; } document.write('<center>'); document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_top\">'); document.write('<img src=\"' + banner + '\" width=') document.write(width + ' height=' + height + ' '); document.write('alt=\"' + alt + '\" border=0><br>'); document.write('<small>' + txt + '</small></a>'); document.write('</center>'); // End --> </script> thats a lof of javascript and I am not a javascript guy myself

I'm not looking for a banner management
system, but just a way to execute a click of a hyperlink that launches some trackable ASP code, i.e. if if each click executed code on a specific ASP page I could track how many times that page way hit. Then by looking at the traffic to those pages I'd know how many times each banner was clicked. My website stats tracking software already tracks everything else, just not which links people click on to spawn other websites. Ideally I'd like to be able to alter all of my hyperlinks to other sites so I could track which sites others are going to from my site.
