Hi,

I came across this website, findstuff.com. I'm trying to figure out how they do their tracking. They redirect all of their exit links to this page findstuff.com/red.php but when you pull up that page, there is no code on the view source. Does anyone have an idea as to

1. How they are doing their redirecting

1. How they are doing their tracking.

The redirecting is instantaneous through red.php, so how do they have time for their tracking scripts to record accurately.

Any thoughts?
 


simple php redirects... Maybe they have some kind of get code in the links..?
Like... If the link is findstuff.com/red.php?Link=5 then red.php will pull the 5 and then grab the proper redirect link from the database and redirect the user.


So the tracking is just as easy. Just increase a value on the database by one to indicate a user has gone through the page.

And you cannot view php in source, it is server side script. Things would come crashing down if you could.
