Ok i am about to start a competition on my site whicch would require them to link back to my site with a button i will provide them.
Now the button can be direct link or uploaded to thier own server, the thing about this is. I want to know the best way to be able to keep track of those hits coming in. I want to keep track of all of them so that its fair and no one is cheated out of any hits they bring in.
So my question is, how do I do this, should i have the button hosted on my site and if so how would I keep track of every single hit that comes int specificcally for that competition? Do i make a special page for it? I prefer it coming into the main part of the site rather than a subpage. Can i use a script of some kind that will still allow me to use a button so that the hits are recorded fairly?
Hope someone knows what i'm talking about and can help me out here
