So, this should do the trick…
Idea is to add some parametars to URL of your landing page so Google Analytics can differ visits that came from clicks on your banner or link.
You can do that by adding ‘?ref=MyBanner’ at the end of URL of your landing page.
For example, if you want your banner to point to address:

http://www.domain.com/my-product.html

then your tracking link would be:

http://www.domain.com/my-product.html?ref=MyBanner

Then, code for flash banner button (Actionscript 2.0) would be:

on(release) {
getURL(“http://www.domain.com/my-product.html?ref=MyBanner”, “_blank”);
}

You can also add some more parametars to your URL if you want, just seperate them with ‘&’, Example:

http://www.domain.com/my-product.html?ref=MyBanner&site=linkexchange&banner=468x60_blue_banner

After some time login to Google Analytics and go to ‘Content overview’ section, there are listed all your pages that have been visited.
Filter your content with keyword that you added to your link, in this case: ‘ref=MyBanner’, and you will get number of page views that came form clicking on the banner
1 page view = 1 click on banner.

I’v tested this with Google Analytics, but i think it should work with any other tool you use to mesure statistics of your site.

For more advanced way to track online campaigns with Google Analytics visit Google Analytics help center and use URL Builder to generate your tracking links.

Images

1. custom background image
2. tile background image
3. no image

Colors

1. background
2. text
3. links
4. sidebar
5. sidebar border

What’s the catch with background image…
If you wan’t to have nice profile with custom background image you will have to create image large enough to fit to largest screen resolutions.
I suggest to make it around 2100x1300px.
Other thing you can do, you can create a pattern and then tile background, or you can choose not to use background image at all.

Few things you should keep in mind

1. background image is positioned ‘top left fixed’ by default and there is nothing you can do to change it
2. keep image under 800kb
3. if you type in something on image it’s better to save it in PNG format
4. don’t use font colors for text that are hard to read

Here are some nice examples from my twitter friends:

As you can see with a very few options that we have, you can make really nice profiles.

1. Create new file with you favorite text editor and save it as: .htaccess
2. Copy/paste these lines in your file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

3. Replace “domain” with your domain name

For example, rewrite for my domain (http://www.bobz.com.hr) would be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bobz.com.hr$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.bobz.com.hr/$1 [R=301,L]

4. Save file and upload it to your web site root directory (public_html)

Also you can revers this, if you want to display your domain as: http://domain.com, then you would use this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.bobz.com.hr$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://bobz.com.hr/$1 [R=301,L]

I think all of modern CMS systems have url rewrite by default included, so you can use built in functions. This example is useful if you are working on a static HTML site.
Be sure that you are using Apache web server and have enabled mod_rewrite module before using these rules.
