1. I suggest you get a spell checker.

2. What type of router are you using? Tomato (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato) is a simple to install and use alternate firmware for many routers that might do what you need. There are others as well - openwrt (http://openwrt.org/) - that might work for you as well, but tomato is easy.

Also in some of the third party software, you can set it up so that a third party does the tracking for you but the people who get on will have to pay them and they you get a portion of it.
