Can I track where people go after they leave my site?

[lawboy]

Anyone have links to a cookie that I can use for my site? I just want to know what is the very next website that they go to (after mine).

I'm quite certain that this is impossible, unless they are leaving from a link that you have on your site.
Of course, I've been wrong before, so if anyone knows that this can indeed be done...

you can route all outgoing löinks through a riderct and learn where they go. Or you can use JS to load a small image when a user clicks a link which you track.

Best suggestion I can give you is make a script (Perl will do just fine) that has a meta refresh on it. You then log the target URL (either in a text file or a database, however you'd like to do it), and redirect them to the target URL. It's a bang-up job, and is fairly common practice.

If you need more specifics, sticky me.

Is there anyway to track, say, which AdSense ad people click on and leave to (without violating Google´s TOC)?

Are you asking if you can track which AdSense sites people click on?

Yes.

I imagine that it does violate Google's TOS (I'm not 100% sure), but I certainly wouldn't risk it.
