_tina_ Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, I have html emails and am trying to record to a database when and which link was clicked. How exactly would I go about doing this? Would a clear GIF method be used? Also, is it possible to have a count of how many times the email is viewed? Thank you in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174708-email-link-click-tracking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
deansatch Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If the links are to your own websites pages, you could just check the referrer in your web stats tracking. I made my own simple tracking which gets the referrer and ip and sticks the info into a db so I can see who visits what page, where they came from and which pages they go to next and for how long etc...

_tina_ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the reply. Some, but not all links are on our site so this approach wouldn't really be the best for me. Is there another way to do this? Thanks If the links are to your own websites pages, you could just check the referrer in your web stats tracking.
