Tracking multiple URLs pointing to the same page

I hope this is the right forum for this question. If not, my apologies.

I want to know how to use WebTrends to track multiple URLs pointing to the same page. Let's say I have an online marketing campaign with different ads that each link to a different URL, for example:

www.mydomain.com/company1
www.mydomain.com/company2
www.mydomain.com/company3

All these URLs are redirected to go to the same landing page, www.mydomain.com/landing.html

First, what is the best way to that redirect so that WebTrends will be able to tell me that, of the visitors arriving at that landing page, x number entered "www.mydomain.com/company1" to get there, y number entered "www.mydomain.com/company2", and so on?

Can WebTrends do this? Should the redirect be done in the htaccess file?

Thanks.

My client just clarified something for me that changes the nature of my question (sorry, I didn't realize this yesterday). They told me that users will be manually typing in the various URLs to get to the single landing page, they will not be clicking on links. So users could enter various URLs into their browser, for example:

www.mydomain.com/company1
www.mydomain.com/company2
www.mydomain.com/company3

All these URLs will then be redirected to go to the same landing page, for example: www.mydomain.com/landing.html

What is the best way to do that redirect so that WebTrends will be able to tell me that, of the visitors arriving at that landing page, x number entered "www.mydomain.com/company1" to get there, y number entered "www.mydomain.com/company2", and so on?

Can WebTrends do this?

Should the redirect be done in the htaccess file as a 301?

How about a php redirection script? You can have it do logging and redirection.
