Refferals

instead of directly linking to the article, how about a refferal (www.yoursite.com/refferal?id=3) this way we can (I belive) track outclicks.

I'd look to do it how google ads work. Where you can see the actual URL when you mouseover but when you click it actually goes through google first.

Does anyone know of example code (without taking it directly from google)?

yes here is it

<a href="http://www.realurl.any" target="_new" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.mouseoverurl.any'; return true;">text</a>

real reason i was asking this was to count outclicks from the site.

real url is assigned a ID, id is passed through a counter page, which logs that click, then redirects to the real url.

next time the page is loaded, the counter adds 1!
