I will try and explain better

I will try and explain better:-

Every month we provide this big website (not disclosed) a press release ie. buy to let mortgages.

They agree to have the words 'buy to let mortgages' with a link through to BUY TO LET MORTGAGES

If you put their site page into www.submitexpress their link shows as

http ://anm.intelli-direct.com/e/PExit.dll?m=365&p=32330&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2Elml %2Eco%2Euk - 2

So the question is.... Will the link above be picked up by google as good ie. it doesnt look as good to me as a link ...www. lml.co.uk ???

So if it is considered detrimental then I have an option to install my own tracking system but want to do one that isnt detrimental.

And they only require me or them to verify how many click on the link

What you've got at the moment is not good.

If you install your own tracking software do both parties need to be able to login to see the number of visits?

Or will they trust you and a print out?

Look at StatCounter Free invisible Web tracker, Hit counter and Web stats, simply install the code on each page of your site (you'll need to pay statcounter to track unlimited visits), you can then give them a nice printout or even provide them with account login details to see for themself (but they then would be able to see all your other webstats!)

Statcounter off a free version, so you could set it up to see if it suits your needs.

The best sort of link you should ask them for is a straight <a href .. link direct from them to lml.co.uk.

Any redirection between thisis money and lml (even an affiliate link) is detrimental to the benefit you could get.

Therefore the counting as BFT says should be on your servers using the referrer details passed on when someone clicks on a link into your page. This information is in your logs, but there are many tools that can help you fish it out. I have no experience of BFT's software recommendation, but I'm sure it provides the details.

What BFT is saying aswell is that because the information is gained on your server and not theirs, then there may be a trust issue, which may or may not be important in your case. It looks like it is not important so in my opinion you should ask them for a straight link.

Statcounter is great, but i always use the free version.

Statcounter.com is a PR10 website, so i think that shows their reputation.

Equally any stats package would show you who the referrers are. Your hosting account usually has some built in.

Thanks for all your feedback.

I only need to show them click throughs....will the tracking software (if i install b's recommendation) on my site allow me to produce a report for the link traffic only?

I would guess a simple screen print with other details blurred would suffice for them.
