iframe statistics

[peasepud]

HI,

Im using an iframe to display a 3rd parties site and Im sure its a daft question but does this affect the users visitor statistics? Im dairly sure it mustnt (after all you're still visiting their site) but if someone could confirm this I'd be grateful.

If your page (containing the iframe) has a hit counter, your count will go up.

If the page inside the iframe has a hit counter, it will also go up.

The fact it's in a iframe is irrelevant. The page would behave the same as if it was in a window of its own.

Hope this helps,
Dan

it helps a lot thanks, no hit counters (at my end anyway) but as long as the server stats of the customer shows the hit coming from my site then Im happy.

Ahh now - that's a different kettle of fish. You might want to confirm with them that you show up as a referrer (I'm not sure if iframes will show you as a referrer much like links will).

Alternatively, if they support params, you might be able to pass one through:

<iframe src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://whatever?referrerId=something">[/URL]
