Hello,

I have set up a service so ppl can recommend a page to other people.

Setup is fairly simple, sending a few mails with the 'refferer' in it (all in php).

Most of my pages are html, or shtml, so little ot no server side scripting.

My question now.

Any easy way to track who actually comes back to visit?

(without changing anything to php)

yours

The easiest way I can think of is to generate a unique ID for each user when you send the mail, make the link to your page in the mail like this:

[example.com...]

Now if you make that unique id based on the time and date of that the email was sent you can link that with other information later. The id will show up in your logs.
