Thanks Mike,

Just submitted my payment information as promised - hopefully others will
follow suit.

After studying the code a little it looks like I can track click throughs by
supplying Google, etc... with the advertising link (html) and then deliver
the correct page after the housing keeping is done. May take a little
tweaking, but it is a good start for me.

Thanks,
Steve Graham
