I have on my website several links which point to a partner site. I would like a cgi script to log the clicks on links to the site.

well, if you first set the links to an intermediate page that was set to refresh using an http-equiv meta tag you could then use tracking software (or just look in your server logs) and see how many times the intermediate page was accessed.
You could also use a script the same way, link to a script that adds to a counter file in your directory and then sends the user to the site, but that would be more difficult, so dont make things hard for yourself.

sending the user to a page with a counter then refreshing it takes to long - I'm thinking more of the kind people use for banner tracking:
a href="cgi-bin/links/links.cgi?linkid=1234"
kind of thing

hello,
You could also try http://www.cgi-resources.com, and if you really can't find one exactly for you, I probably could make one for you.
Good Luck

Hey! I'm looking for something similar to this script exept... I'm looking for something that creates a top frame that will let you go back to the main page...
for example ../cgi-bin/frameset.cgi?http://www.yahoo.com/
I've seen this on other sites, but could never find it my self at any pay/free CGI places.
Thanks, Alex.

To track links check out LinkNLite.
For a dynamic frame generator check out FrameIt
For a list of Alternative scripts check out:
Form or Link Based Redirection
If you can use ASP you can check out Dynamic Framesets
I hope this helps some.
