Hi there,

I have a site that has a links section that is growing and growing (http://www.elusionplc.com/e-lusion/05-toplinks.htm). What I'm thinking about doing is have a rating system for each link.

Two ideas so far are to just have a auto-generated page that lists the highest clicked-on links in order or, what I would prefer, to have the amount of clicks (either as a figure or simplified star system) appear with the links - though I would presume this would need a database and I'm not really a programmer.

So far I've found this program: http://www.linksmonitor.co.uk. The only problem is that is doesn't create a page.

I'm currently looking for ways to do this, and just thought I would try and post here at the same time to see if anyone has can help?

YOu can find some really good click tracking scripts here:

http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Script...ing/index.html

As for the script you showed I would not go with it why?
well it uses flat-file databases. If your getting as much traffic as your saying then your files will most definilty get corrupted down the road, which means you need to go mySQL for your database.

If you can't find any scripts in that catagory on hotscripts I can custom make the script for you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the info and thanks for the offer. I didn't mention that I was getting high traffic, but hope to have a system in place to track and present the rankings before I do.

I will look at the link and see what I can find. If using MySQL is the only way to do this properly then I hope implementing the database is easy as I wouldn't know how to program it. I have to say though that I've just put phpBB on my site and found that very quick and easy to set-up.

Thanks again.

All well designed script will just have you type in some info and it will do everything for you.

If you installed phpbb then you will do fine putting in another script. If you need help installing a script just email me and I will be glad to help

Again, that's very kind of you. I want to try Fast Clicks from the link you mentioned previously, but the file is missing or the link to the file is wrong.

It sounds just like what I want though, so have e-mailed the author.
