<p>The present invention relates to a method to track the number of visitors or "clicks" originating from any number of designated source websites to one or many target websites, where said source websites are loaded in a web browser executed on a client terminal. The present invention specifically teaches that the source code of any web page on said source websites that potentially contains a hyperlink pointing to a target website comprises a code element which, when executed, enables a controlling unit to be executed by the client terminal as the web page is loaded in the web browser. The controlling unit comprises a list of registered domain names identifying for what target websites the number of visitors or clicks originating from each specific source website is to be tracked. When a click is made on a hyperlink, the controlling unit compares the registered domain name in the URL of said hyperlink with the registered domain names of target websites. If there is a match the controlling unit reports the identity of the source website and the identity of the target website to a central server, which registers one (1) click received by the target website from the source website.</p> |
