Hi, this is just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. So, can the owner of product you are affliate of know all the sites your are promoting his product from? If so, can he know which website gets the most clicks and customers and what tool or software does he use to do that?

Yes - if the product is sending visitors. If the product is just "sitting" there and no one is clicking they would have to use other tactics to find the site

Yes - software such as Idevaffiliate and other affiliate systems track incoming links and who sends them. Thats how they know who to pay when a sale is made.
All affiliate systems are going to have some type of link tracking thats the basis of the system. You are given a special link to promote the product with and the activity through that link is tracked.

Hope that helps
