I also find it very handy to log the referrer using:

PHP Code:


			
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

Its great to see where your visitors come from. Though this will include internal pages. So I run a check to see if my domain is in the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. If it is, then I won't log it. If it isn't, I log it and then can get a great summary of where most of my visitors are coming from by keeping a count per referring URL. This then becomes useful information when further developing and promoting my sites. :)
