Looking for last links clicked script

[dak142]

I am looking for a script that will display the last couple of links clicked on my website. Sort of like a most popular links area. Is there such a script avaiable? If not what kind of a command sequence would I need to use to develop the script?

I think you would have to build a custom tracker to tracl this so you can display it more easily. The information would be available in your apache logs but parsing them is not something you want to do often for a public page.

Maybe take a look for a link tacking script and see if that can help you get the data you need stored in a db then you can just do simple queries for this information.

I`ve written a link tracking script thats free and easy to use. It lets you display most popular links via function calls. If you want to try it click on the website link in my profile.

dreamcatcher,

I checked out your site, however I did not find the mentioned script. Which one is it, or did I just totally miss it?

Its called Maian Links. Type this into the search engine, you should find the page ok.

Are you referring to INTERNAL or EXTERNAL links? (Links to other pages on your site, or links to pages on other sites?)

If it's internal, any web stats program or service will do the trick ... iwebtrack, webtrends, hitbox, etc.

If it's external, the script suggestion is the way to go. Make a database, and make a script that redirects the user. Then instead of linking to www.othersite.com link to yourscript.php?link=www.othersite.com

yourscript.php will insert the link in your database, and then redirect the user to that site.

Then you can run any number of queries against the database to see how popular each link is. You could even store the date/time and calculate most popular times of the day, etc.
