Simple MOD - Please Help
I have a great idea for a MOD. When someone adds a site, give them some html to put on their page with a graphic.
Have the image point to a script that logs a hit each time the image is viewed on that person's page. Make the image dynamic so that when it is in the top 5% of the sites, it says top 5%,, and in the top 1% say top 1%.

You could use AXS tracking system which logs a hit every time the graphic is viewed, and strip the data from that file and use it to determine which sites get which graphics.

The user could use for his source for the graphic http://whatver.com/links/rating.cgi?ID=theirid , and it will display the proper graphic. I really dont thin k this would be that difficult for some perl genius and it would benefit everyone. Just some thoughts.

I would really appreciate someone trying to make this. Thanks,

Nicholas

Ok... I see what you mean. This won't take nearly as much resources. Have the image route through AXS tracking program and it logs a hit every time. Get links to search the url of that site in the AXS database, and locate how many hits it has had. Use the site with the most hits as the cool links.

This way site ranking is determined by hits per page and not hits from oyour page to theirs or vice-versa. Let me know if this can be done. Thanks,
Nicholas
