hello
what i want is to make user counter as true as possible. exluding bots, and clever users as much as possible. as 4 what i know, it can be done in several ways:

  • ip (trouble with dinamic ones and proxy's)
  • cookies (with session id maybe, but can be deleted or browser can be changed)
  • flash cookies (not all users have it)

any other ways? and what is the best?

You can use Google analytics to get that data (at least for Google anyway)...

unfortunately i need something more than only tracking visits. it's a way of referer system, based on vistis by someone...so i need a little more than only statistics. i need to retrieve refer identifier for example a QueryString likehttp://mydomain/somepage?refer=someonemaybe it could be done by google via api tools...or biult-in funtions any one aware of theese thing?P.S. it uses only cookies again, and it's really easy to cheat...
