Hi guys,

 

a mate at work has asked me a question that I'm a bit confused how to answer;

 

he has a website ran by a company with a members section (not what your all thinking) that they pay a few to join.

 

Hes been with them for a few years, and was getting paid every month by them (a fraction of the members fews).

 

Thing is, the past 12 months hes not received anything but is sure he is still getting hits on the site so should be getting members.

 

Is there any way he can check if people are joining and hes being ripped off? I wondered about seeing hits on the members only page maybe? (wouldn't be hugely accurate but would give an idea if there are still any members at all i guess?)

 

Problem is that the site is administered by this company so I'm now out of my depth....

I know my missus website has a visitors statistics bit on the hosting companies page.

Right, any other thoughts?

 

Wondering if we could ask for editorial rights to the page and then once we have access to the directory run some sort of applet to monitor page hits?

If he has a members area it would more than likely be using a database to keep track of members, I have completed many members areas of websites and there is always an admin facility so you can view who has joined etc ...

does he have the admin log details?

if he does, he can easily check
