If you use a PC Firewall like pathetic Nortons and think it a good idea to switch off browser referrer info - which the server has already obtained anyway, or use a browser like NS which by default set-up stupidly uses cache totally as if off-line, then this and any server has the right to consider you a risk and you will experience problems because of lack of STANDARD HTTP conversation protocols. But of course as a webmaster on a network you should already know that!! ...and appreciate CGI software which reacts that way to your visitors.

....I've been looking for a 'click counting' script for months. Your LnkInLite is perfect (even I could install it!) I had never seen a 'makedir' file like yours, sure made the installation easy. Great looking admin interface also. I'll be adding a couple of links to your pages later. Thanks again,
  Mike

**LnkinLite still uses efficient server resource friendly flat file data files, so it
will avoid any licensing problems which may arise from the mySQL sellout (2010).
**LnkinLite DOES NOT use MySQL!

LnkinLite Unix Perl 5 CGI is a versatile free-to-use Hyperlink usage counter and redirect script. Simple Link Names and URLs added to the data file can also be edited via the Admin Page. The called script updates the counts and then redirects to the required URL.

Any time you need to add one of the links to your pages, or send a URL copy to another site, or add a new temporary promo link to any e-mail texts, admin will generate the correct hyperlink HTML and E-mail Text tags for a simple copy and paste action by you in to the relevant file.

If you want a complex "affiliate" program this is NOT for you!
If you want a logging program this is NOT for you ( severlogs / site counters are for that! ).
But if you want to efficiently track by simple count totals which hyperlinks within your site are most commonly used and which "exit" links are most popular then LnkinLite IS for you.... without process slowing logging of "gimmick" data real webmasters know they already receive by other means.
• LnkinLite even safely counts external link URLs supplied to other sites AND protects your local links.
LnkinLite is also an excellant tool for adding "promo response checking" to ANY e-mailed text URLs, and counting DOWNLOADS!


• LnkinLite is popular amongst commercial and business sites; typical feedback is reported by Clint Krismer of sasktourism.com, "LnkinLite ....fills a significant void in our ability to track link performance,...."

The actual redirect URL is hidden, only representative names are used!

• Individual links can be access-blocked from remote copies of your pages or a browser command line ( note v2.71 bug fix ).

• No program and site bloating of useless log info experienced webmasters know they already obtain elsewhere - simple, fast, efficient.

• We have viewed several client admin pages listing many hundreds of counted links on single web pages.

• LnkinLite will even work from a JS drop menu link list, but our JumpNcount program is written as a separate URL click counting drop-menu-redirect usage recorder.

• E-Lists and ListMerge v2.3 - early 2002 - link directly to LnkinLite admin for quick generate/copy/paste of named counted email promo links in sent emails. But as a stand alone efficient simple program LnkinLite Perl CGI can be used for many site link requirements.

One simple program
LnkinLite can be used to count links TO your site as well as hyperlinks within your site, similar to affiliate linking but without account management. If another site is going to link to yours, create and send them a unique <a href... tag.

Dear Mr Woolley, I installed your program and: it's great, easy and very effective! My site is a lexicon with about 750 links and growing which I changed to Lnkinlte. Now I can see how often visitors use my links.
That's good information! Regards, Thomas Eicker

The counting and redirecting of links into your site from other sites is handled easily by LnkinLite, and includes an attractive totals viewer and link adding/editing page accessed by password; also ideal for checking banner ad click-throughs, reciprocal links from other sites etc.

 Use LnkinLite for mail list mail-out...  Promo Tracking 
• Don't just add links to your mail-outs! - if using "Listmerge" to bulk mail-out to E-Lists lists (new window samples), then by also creating named links via the LnkinLite program the link code is generated suitable for including it in the ListMerge saved mailing texts for each list (or any other similar PC / Browser mail merging program). You can then have a "response check" by counting the response success rate for any number of return or promo links included in mail-outs - see what works, what needs changing next time, etc.

NOTE: These scripts are created as working programs for webmasters, and not the common "play with and learn" free scripts found on some sites. If you are affronted by this, then please use someone else's programs.

All programs include utilities to check Unix perl version, plus create and chmod directories and files - works on most sites - and a detailed HTML help page.
