Bogus,

One way to do this, in any version of Links, is to make a new link in the new category, but point the URL to the old link in the old categroy.

For example, let's say you have a link to Acme Computers in your Computer category. It has an ID of 123 in the database. You want to add it in another category, Businesses. You add it under that category, giving it an ID of, for example, 321 and an URL of http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=123. Now, when anyone clicks on it in either category, the hits will be updated for both links.

The only problem with this method is, you will not know how many hits for ID 123 came from Computer and how many came from Businesses. However, the hits for ID 321 will only be for hits under Businesses.

You can do this in as many categories as necessary.

Just a thought.
