Hit Counter question

[Guest]

I know there is the HIT COUNTER included in FP2003. However, what I'm looking
for is a way to track specdific hits to specific Links I include in sub-pages
of my site. That is, I have a page with bulletin-board like items. I want to
track how many times the specific items are READ (e.g., clicked on to read)
and insert the "Read Count" in a cell so that everyone sees how many times
something has been read.

Is there a way to do that vs. inserting the huge Hit Counters that FP2003
has? I have ASP.NET code already runnning if that makes a difference. (e.g.,
some ASP script that I can grab.)

Thanks in advance.

Web hosts often provide access to a complete set of site statistics,
including what you describe here. Have you asked yours? If they don't, you
might consider switching, since it's pretty standard with all decent
reasonably-priced web hosting.

Check with your web hosting company and see if they have a Stats package
available for your site. Most do.

Thank you ... I will check with them.

OK - yes, my hosting site does in fact have STATS ... but the information is
at the Hosting site and quite terse in nature. What I'm rellay looking for
is to provide a count of the number of times a specific item on my site was
READ (clicked on) and display that number on the actual page. I've seen this
sort of display on various "discussion" sites ... that is, how many times a
news item was READ. How do they implement this? or is it something inherent
in a DISCUSSION database that I would have to implement?

Thanks again.
