sorry you mean like the milliondollorhomepage.com ?

No, just those 1x1 pixels that are used for tracking

Oh, sorry dont know.

surely all it does is show a minute image from another site - won't good tracking on that site show you were pixels have been pulled from?

I use PHP Ads New (PAN) to track those images. It also handles our banner rotation.

Create a new banner with a 1 pixle image and place the code on your page:0
<img src="/adview.php?what=xxx" border=0 width="1" height="1">

where xxx is the banner number

Yeh the image is just a way to run a script from another site / location on your page.

so

<img src="http://www.somesite.com/track.asp?SiteID=12981219" width="1" height="1">

track.asp would look somthing like

<%
'Grab / check / set the info we want IP, Refferer set a cookie



UIP = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
URef = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
UDateTime = Now()
SiteID = Request("SiteID")

If Request.cookies("MySite")("Visit") <> "" then
' // Our user has already paid a visit

SQL ="INSERT into Tracking (UIP,URef,UDateTime,visit, siteID) Values('"&UIP&"','"&URef&"',#"&UDateTime&"#,2,"&SiteID&")"
Conn.execute(SQL)

else ' First time visit 

Response.cookies("MySite")("Visit") = "Yep"
Response.Cookies("MySite").Expires = Now + 365

SQL ="INSERT into Tracking (UIP,URef,UDateTime,visit,SiteID) Values('"&UIP&"','"&URef&"',#"&UDateTime&"#,1,"&SiteID&")"
Conn.execute(SQL)

End if

Response.write("http://mySite.coim/ipix.gif")

%>
