Tracking Referers

[RadioFAQs]
Question: The list of referers seems to be wiped clean each day. Is there a way to see all hits and referers from previous days as well as the current day? [Alison]

Answer: Sorry, the referers currently is only kept for a 24 hour period and reset at midnight. [Lawrence Lee] [Don W Strickland: RadioFAQ]

me: OK, but is there some script-y way to grab that info just before midnight and compile one's own stats?

I also wish there was some way to replace URLs with blog titles, especially when the URLs are anonymous serial-number stylee, like mine. I often click on referers and then go oh, right, that's the astrology blog ... or why can't i remember bush impeachment countdown's five digit usernum?.

You can syndicate any boat you row: I know I just linked to Lockergnome's RSS Resource the other day and I'm also aware that I once said I was done posting about RSS here at Radio Free Blogistan. That turned out not to be true, of course, and was mainly a result of frustration about the funk wars.... (Syndication)
