Iframe and analytics

If a site uses Iframe to link to another site, would the linked site show a visitor in analytics for someone clicking that link?

So for example, my site is site B, and you visit site A. Site A links to site B via an iframe. You click the link to site B's iframe. Would your visit then show up on my analytics?

Hi SilentX,

That's known as cross-domain tracking.
If you're using Google analytics with the default settings then only the clicks made on your domain will be tracked.

Clicks inside the iFrame will not be.

If you would like to track both sets of analytics you will need some Javascript to pass the cookie between domains.
Full details and code are available on this page from Google (scroll to the bottom of the page for iFrame information)
