Referral link

I would like to have in my site a simple system of referral links. I only want to be able to know who recommended a user to my site.
I made a search in the forum but I only found complex systems.
Can anyone tell me a easy way to make this?
Thanks

an input box with a label "referrer - who referred you to this site?"

If you're using this information to check which sites are "recommending" you then do as Jenk says.... it's foolproof (almost

).
If you simply want to know where people are coming from then either read your apache logs or check if $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] exists and store that info.

Hi,
I want to be able to create referral links to pay comissions based on sales.
Example:
The client 1 gets a unique ref link
The client 2 hits the link from client1 and a cookie stores this information on his computer
When client 2 makes a spend, the info from the cookie is inserted on a special field.
Thanks
