URL identification

[Guest]

How do I ensure that I know when someone has clicked through a hyperlink on
my site to the URL of another site.

I've been given a URL by the recieving site with a referrer number unique to
me but, would like to be able to reconcile from my end?

Also, Is there any way I can tell where my original referral came from?
i.e. Google, Yahoo etc?

Hoping this is easy and obvious and i'm just being dense

Original referrer methods-
1. Javascript. but you will need to store it
2. Log files- oodles of info in there. Check with your host
to see if you have access
3. Server side script. Can pull any of the infor the log
files have, and then you can save them into a db

Thanks Mike.

I'm a novice, so will keep your advice on ice until I need to proceed and
then I will probably need some more help. Doesn't sound that simple. :-(
