    Default How to track a link when clicked

    I had REW create a link/code to my quick mls search page that I place on various sites and blogs of mine, I am getting visitors to my web sites via this link but the problem is I can't tell which page they found the link on. Is there a way to track that? They are basically doing a quick search on the MLS and then the results always land them on my main web site, just can't track what other sites/blogs of mine that did the search on.

    Thanks.

    To clarify it is a link I place on my blogs that is really a code that displays my quick mls search. When they perform the search the listings results page is on my main web site, I just can't track where they did the search from (what other blog or site of mine)

    we would have to be capturing the referring URL in order to pass it as a session ID for instance search123.php?referredbydomainx

    Better solution - switch all of your sites to REW lol

    Well the code is on my other 3 REW sites then 2 of my blogs. So do I need you guys to take the link/code you created and add something to it or are you saying that is something I can do on my own?

    Well atleast I know it was worth having you guys create that code in the 1st place as people are using it!

    Why would you have the quick search on your other rew sites sending users back to a different site for IDX - don't your other REW sites already have their own IDX's? (confused)

    No 2 of them are templates and do not have IDX (did not want them too) the 3rd one does have the IDX (but no quick search yet so using that for the time being). Then of course the blogs are well blogs and waiting on REW creating a quick search for me to put in there instead of the current link/code that I am using now that REW created for me.

    The 2 sites that do not have IDX are just my "vanity" sites meaning I do not put much into them (YET) though they do well for me with the linking I do to them and some SEO, one of them will eventually get an upgrade to higher level REW site with IDX.. I think I bought those 2 when you ran the template specials last year so it was hard to resist so I made the purchases. One is a site for a development of 200 houses and one is 1 of my 2 condo/townhouse sites.

    My high traffic condo site though is the next plan maybe this year to upgrade to the LEC4, just waiting for another great special to be run so another reason I have not put a quick search or other upgrades on it.

    You know you can always bribe me (through buying SEO or other extended services) to get a killer discount on an LEC right? - PS she is almost ready for you dev74.rewtemplates.com/

    just waiting for another great special to be run so another reason I have not put a quick search or other upgrades on it.

    mmmm looking nice.

    Is this the final or shall I say will be the final look... meaning..I saw another mock up called lec 4 mockup 1 with the 5 links on the right starting with the words "featured listings" and the My Account was pushed down under it. I was REALLY hoping to see that part of the site in the final product.
