Measure banner click?

[flyrib]

Hello, I need to find a way to measure number of clicks on my customers banners in my vB3 forum.
How can that be solved? Any plugin for this?

thank you very much in advance

By custom banners, what do you mean?

[flyrib]

yes, that is correct. A custom banner on my vb forum, the client wants to know how many clicks that banner i generating.

That is not what I ment. How did you set the banners up to display?

You can use Google analytics to do this but you will need to look it up. It requires you to place a snippet in with your ad code and you have to set up tracking for it.

Here is something I found very quickly but I have not gone through it to see how accurate it is..

Gotcha, post the code you are using to create the sideblock, and I will see what I can do.

I bet its just a linked image to his customers site.
If that is the case, if its getting a boat load of clicks you can find that info in your cPanel/Stats

Analytics is also simple and will tell you much more then just hits. You just need the main code in your footer and then the small snippet to display your banner. Really, it takes 5 minutes. I just haven't done it in awhile.
