quick web design tip

[mikebrad]

np, stuff like this is important to know, esp as your sites get bigger

I think I saw this in the last thread but foolishly overlooked it. It's so simple an so effective, saves me setting up OpenAds for something like this if I just want to track links.

Cheers Mike, helpful again as ever.

You can also have a directory structure like this
/sites/
/sites/bodog/
/sites/pokerstars/

and an index.php with the redirect in those directories... that way you don't even see the filename (it just looks a little cleaner)...

[mikebrad]

yeah sorry, did I not mention that? I think I did in the previous post.

[pokerkeith]

Yeah, you're right, I missed it.... Sorry...

PS, I also like you're way of getting it to register with Google Analytics...

When you set up this, every click on this link will show in analytics as /outgoing/pokerroomname.

Just a quick question about this ...

Do you have to have individual files to use the JavaScript as you suggest? I'm only asking as I've got all my affiliate links in various folders:

i.e.
chan-poker/index.php
pokerstars/index.php

etc.

If the <href> tag points to these files as normal, can I just ammend the javascript depending on which page the link is on?

e.g.

< a target= "_blank" href="chan-poker/index.php" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outgoing/chanpokerreview')
< a target= "_blank" href="chan-poker/index.php" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outgoing/chanpokerhomepage')

etc ...

As long as you're including the urchintracker .js file on every page then that's fine.
