Get the referral URL from ASP page

[Stacy]

I'm writing ASP stats application and I store information about the users browsing the site in SQL Server 2000 database.

I want to be able to get the URL that the user came in from (the referral URL) and to save this for each visited page. For example, if the user searched on Google about "asp scripts" and then clicked on my site from the search results, I want to save the referrer as the following:

google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&q=asp+scripts

How do I do that?



Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Stacy,

You can use Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to get the referral URL in your ASP pages. Read more about the Request.ServerVariables collection here:
