I want to create a piece of code that will track conversions of cost-per-actions from visitors to my website who arrive via personalized URL. The code will work similar to conversion tracking codes used in Google AdWords, Snap and Yahoo search. However, it will not utilize any of those services and will run independently on my website and the metrics will be provided to me through a control panel login I can access 24/7. How can I do this or is there PHP/MySQL software I can add to my webhosting account to enable this feature? Please Advise. Thanks!

Try to search on hotscripst.com for it... I am sure you will find something similar. You will probably need then to personalize it. I wish you good luck!

The easiest thing to do would probably be to write it yourself. It's a pretty simple matter of storing accounts with a unique (usually random, like a GUID) string attached, that you treat as that accounts' referrer-ID. Just write a header that watches for the referrer-ID in the querystring for incoming requests, and put that header in all your sites. The most time-consuming part of writing practically any web software system is the admin/control panel, so you decide how complicated you want it to be.
