A couple ways are :
1. Setup an affiliate link for them to use :
http://www.you.com/foo.php?affiliate=them
They'd stick that link on their site. Variable $affiliate will tell you
the hit came from their (them) site. You log this information and analyze
and fight over the validity of it with them. No doubt they'll also track
outgoing hits so they may do something like :
go.php?url=http://www.you.com/foo.php?affiliate=them
But I digress.
2. Use HTTP_REFERER and watch your server logs. See above.
3. Use a third party such as linkshare or befree or something similar to
track such information for you. Although don't think you're at this point
yet :-)
The variable your subject is requesting is : HTTP_REFERER. Search google
for this variable and much information will come about. It'll *usually*
give you the exact referring url.
