Hi there I have a question,

I have a list of many businesses on my website, all using different web server systems, be they php pages, asp, linux/windows servers etc and all coded differently. What I want to do is find out if there is a standard way of telling them all that their customer/pageviewer came from MY site. Is there a way to do this?

Or is the only way for them to know is if they have site statistics software setup and then they can detect who reffered them? I'm pretty sure Ive seen sites put in refferer IDs when you click them, they put there name in the URL so the site knows where it came from.. is there a standard way of doing this somehow?

Thanks!

Dave
