We have a webdirectory which has lot of links to outside sites. To trace which links are being clicked most, we had put a tracer on the links. However, though tracer is working fine, we cannot know from our statcounter regarding how which clicks a particular visitor is making and how much time they are spending on the site. Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem..

How does your tracer work?

If somebody asked me to set up what you want, I'd have a bunch of links pointed to to a page on my site with the query string that tells which the user clicked to go to, increment a counter in the database for that site, and then redirect them.

there is absolutely no way (without a spyware style toolbar installed on their browser) you can tell how long a user stays or how many clicks a user makes ON ANOTHER SITE!

once they have clicked the link on your site to the external site they are lost to any tracking you have on your site.
