Click source:Where is it coming from?

[rainbowz]

Where would the advertiser's stats say the clicks on their ad is coming from in this situation:

There are three sites involved:

MyContent.com where the ad is being displayed
Advertiser.com where the ad points to
OurMSAsite.com where we have the script which feeds ads to a few separate domains like MyContent

Advertiser.com wants ads shown on MyContent.com and tracks how many ad come from there or at least expects to. But since the MSA script is NOT on that site, do his stats indicate visitors clicks came to him via MyContent (where the ad is shown) or OurMSAsite where the ad is fed from? Do his stats (in essence) say "25 visitors came from MyContent.com" or "25 visitors came from MyMSAsite.com"?

Now I know the referrer stats for the ad in the MSA stats area indicate an ad click originated from MyContent but once it's passed on to Advertiser.com, is it still noted this way or does it now come from MyMSAsite?

Sorry if this sounds a little convoluted...

If I understood you correctly, on redirected links, such as those used to track clicks, I would think they would see the MSA site as that's whats sending them there, but I'm not 100% sure. Is possible, you could always just send them their RSS Stats feed or provide them a login to see their stats, as the MSA server will have the proper MyContent.com entries.
