I want to put a link up like any link and be able to have a count of how many people go through it. I just want to see how many times somebody clicks on my link.
How can I do this free?

what server side code ?

There is a simple script, but I cant remember the name!
Its from that site where every script has a yellow bg, centered and no login, only a password...
:P

" what server side code"<-----You lost me there.

Id like something that just countes how many people go through a normal HTML or BBcode link.

server side code = PHP, ASP, CFM

Im sorry im new to all of this what are you meaning? Im really sorry Im still learning all this website stuff!

server side codes are dynamic codes that output html.... sounds kinda confusing but it isnt... check out php.net (personaly i preferphp but there are other codes you can use)

I'll take that as a no to server side code then I guess.

Assuming the site in your sig, The server doesn't include PHP in it's header signature so it looks like you won't be tracking links at all.

I dont get it. Is there now way to track a link from like a sig here?

Ok which do you want to do?

Track referers to your site from other sites or visitors to your site clicking links there ?

I want to make a url anywhere on the site here in my sigs and see how many people go through them. Mainly in sigs....

Ok that's referer tracking.

Your site logs will have that information. These should be available from your hosting. There may even be an analyser installed as well, something like Analog or AWStats. If not then download FunnelWeb and use it offline.

If no logs are available then take a look at Extreme-DM you can have a free account on the home page. It's just a copy and paste javascript to install.

Well not really my site but my sigs right here. Isnt there some sort of tracking for a link anywhere?

Your sig goes to your site. yes?

you need to know how many visitors you get from them clicking on your sig here. Yes?

This is called a referer and will appear in your site logs. That's the only way you have. There is no tracking on signatures on this site and as you don't control this site you can't do any tracking on it.

But my site will show in the logs where the people came from or if not try those steps above? I didnt know that! Thanks for the help im going to take a look!
