PHP & Hitslink

Post by Harlequin »

Just wondered if anyone else used Hitslink in their PHP code and if they experienced the following:

URLs with query strings not being indexed
Extended page load time

I'd appreciate your feedback, even if it's to say you've never heard of hitslink...

Ive never heard of it myself, but if its missing the query strings - and you site uses these to create dynamic pages, then i would suggest either telling that that their product is crap - or make your own basic hit counting system. Not sure what options hitslink provide but im sure all you really want to know i how many hits each page is getting, which is very simple with just a line or so of code.

All you need to do is grab the full url and place it in the database, or if that page is already in there then increment the counter to say its been hit again. You can do the same with IP's so you can see how many pages each IP vists. And then to get full stats from your httpd server log files you can get an open source option like webalizer.
