H][RO Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Australia Insane since: Oct 2002	posted 07-26-2004 08:34 Hi all, not sure where to put this post... Wondering about software like this: http://www.urchin.com/ Which has an option to pick a website and find out what people are typing in to get to your website... Im just wondering how does that work? how can it work? Unless they have access to the google database itself and some sort of log there? Is there anyway to tell where your webpage has loaded from? Maybe u can get the previously loaded browser page or something? Im not sure..

This then of course can be filtered to only show search engine referrers, which then can be sieved for keywords used.
