I'm trying to find a link tracker that's search engine friendly (ie, the link is direct and info is tracked onclick)

So far I've just been able to find one that stores all the info in a flat text file. What I need is one that has these features:

- gives info about visitor (bot or human? what page the link was clicked from)
- total clicks per link (unique clicks might be nice but not as needed)
- searchable database
- easy to add, edit and remove links
- having categories would be nice
(The site I want it for is a directory with hundreds of links I need tracked..
all in one long list would be rather difficult to sort though)

Currently I'm using one that works great, except that the links are showing up in the search engines. Google is just showing them as supplementals, but Yahoo has a worrisome oddity... they are showing up in site:mysite as

real sites title
real sites description
my outbound link url

And yes, these are 301, not 302 outbound links... no idea why the search engines are doing this, but it's probably better to have direct links anyway.

Anyone know of a script that does this?
