FSCounter happily counts things effeciently on the file system and could be
used for counting, followed by a redirect as Chris says.

 You want something like this in your linking page:

 form action="count_and_pass"
 input type="hidden" name="target_url" value="http://www.zope.org/"
 input type="submit" value="Go to Zope.org"

 OR

 a href="count_and_pass?target_url=http%3a//www.zope.org/"Go to
 Zope.org/a

 Then you need a 'count_and_pass' DTML Method like:

 dtml-call increment
 dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect(_['target_url'])"

 and a ZSQL Method called 'increment' that takes 'target_url' as an
 argument and increments the count for that URL.  Or you can get fancier
 and use the ZSQL method to record each click through along with date and
 info like the users IP and the refering page.  These last will be in the
 REQUEST from the linking page.

 Cheers,
 Chris

[Zope] Link counter

[Brendon Grunewald]

I have recently been asked by a partner site to 
provide them with a count of how many times someone links from my site to 
theirs. Since there are many ways they could hyperlink to that site (Squishdot 
articles, normal links, banner ads etc), is there a way in zope to keep track or 
to extract that info? OR am I stuck with the server logs?
