- Cascading Trackers. Lets Say you want to Redirect many URLS to http://main-Redirect.

You Build a Page called http://the-Redirect and Point it to http://main-Redirect (don't place Java Web Counter code on this Page)

You now Point all you other Redirects to http://the-Redirect s0 http://the-Redirect1, http://the-Redirect2 ...(with Java Web Counting Code ) are all pointing at http://the-Redirect. Now if the URL of http://main-Redirect1 changes you change http://the-Redirect to point to http://main-Redirect1 and all the URLS that point to http://the-Redirect should still work with no change.

- Free Web Based trackers go out of business.

- You can often get better statistics when you build your own Ad-Trackers
