A link-tracking server receives a request for a Web page or an image and
stores link-tracking information in one or more link-tracking files to
create a record of link-tracking information. The link tracking files may
later be accessed by a link-tracking subscriber, such as by logging onto
the link-tracking server. A content provider embeds link-tracking code in
each Web page where link-tracking information is desired to be captured.
Such Web pages embedded with such link-tracking code are then stored in a
content provider server, which then serves such tracking-enabled Web
pages to users on the network. When a user requests a tracking-enabled
page, the link-tracking code sends one or more requests to a
link-tracking server to record link-tracking information.
