productx.php is a redirect that takes someone to my affiate's site with my affiliateid but at the same time it passes through productx.php I have a tracking code there to capture where the traffic was coming from. Is this possible? I've bought affiliate prophet and conversion prophet but don't want to spend alot of wasted time trying to figure it out if this concept won't work.

Anybody tried this?
Larry,

I'm not sure how those two products work, but the way you described the concept, it seems to make sense. It probably gives you the granularity that you are looking for versus analyzing the web server logs and getting statistics that way.

If you have cPanel as part of your hosting package, there is a lot of information that can be gained by looking at the domain or sub domain statistics though.... unique visitors, page popularity, search keyword stats, referring sites, etc. Most of the tools that hosting providers include with cPanel give you monthly, down to hourly statistics.
