Re: What's this image tag for?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I thought it would be something like that. So here's another question I'd appreciate thoughts on:

If I have ten of these links on a page, linking to ten different stores, should I include one of these IMG links on each link, just as they say to cut and paste? Or should there only be one per page so I don't hit the counter ten times, once for each image.

I have examined the ten different IMG URLs for the ones I have pasted onto a page and they are all the same, so they are NOT unique per store image. But rather seem to relate to my client's account itself.

Any thoughts, insights would be greatly appreciated.

You'll notice they provide an image for you to display embedded in the <a href="..."> </a> tags, simple enough, but I can't figure out what that second IMG tag is for with the little 1 x 1 image. Since it's outside the actual link, I don't really see what it accomplishes.


It's simply a counter. Calls an image off a remote server which increments a counter on that remote server. Allows whoever to track how frequently the code block is shown.
