I'm running a webpage in yahoo. I'ts to be linked, as part of a larger multi town news system, which is hosted at GoDaddy. The guy, wants to use masking, so when they link to MY pages, the url still shows it's THEIR Url (still in his news site system, if you will) ... we know how to do it. the QUESTION is,,, he wants the hits, on the page I run, to count on HIS Google ANALYTICS numbers etc.. as traffic is used, for sales of ads etc. What we need to know for sure is, Since he is linking, and masking it, from HIS Url/site. TO MINE.. will HE get the traffic count?
Thanks... HankNo, he won't. Analytics are measured on the server and/or via a service like Google analytics.

server stats would be stored on your webhost and tally up whenever the file is accessed. Also, the file will still be accessed with the same URL, the url "masking" is basically just changing the url in the address-bar or using a rewrite-rule to access your site. For example, a person who owns and operates SAY, www.Bears.com might want to include an article on berries, but they find this really awesome berries article and that they want to link from www.Bears.com/food.html but it redirects them to www.Berrypatch.com, and they want it to show www.Bears.com/berries.html instead. the url shown or accessed on that server won't have any bearing on the analytics recorded by EMBEDDED analytics in the "berries.html" file (such as google analytics) which will still see the "real" origin of the file (berrypatch.com), and server-based STATISTICS would still be of course recorded on the webhost for berrypatch.

Ok.. I'll explain exactly what we're doing, and go from there... "Boss".. has his own domain.. under which he operates 4 different county news sites. All on HIS server. "I" am setting up, a "landing page"..  with headlines, and links, to each independent site of his, and buttons linking to the same 4 sites.
He wants, the URL showing on MY site, to be the same as the rest, (HIS)  so we're going to "mask" it in.
Bottom line, we HAVE added HIS "Google analytics" html snippet, into the code on MY site. People, are to come to MY page first.. then branch out, to the individual sites, that they choose.
What we WANT, is for the Counts, of traffic, hitting MY Landing page, to count with HIS total of traffic etc...... Is what we have done, going to do this??? If not, CAN it be done, with the setup we have? THAT is the Issue at HAND.....if they are on the same server and have the same google analytics snippet than yes.No.. his server and mine are NOT the same....  I'm not sure than. the google analytics will count towards his analytics account, I would imagine. But the url "masking" probably won't be accounted for.ok.. we just wanted, if they come to me first, then him, it to show, on his numbers, as TWO hits, which it honestly would be. Traffic count, and/or "impressions" are what sell these ads... and we have ads on BOTH ends..I'm new at this, and his knowledge of this aspect is weak... Guess, we'll just run it, and see what the counters show!
I'm always stuck, doing "weird" stuff ... LOL!!

Thanks for the help.. every little bit extra we learn....
