Experimenting with the Referrer System

Christian Crumlish

Following my usual scattershot process of trying out multiple methods for doing the same thing and then sometimes randomly stopping when something works well enough, I dropped by Stephen's Web today and have added the code for his hosted referrer-listing system. I may install the backend code myself, but I don't mind filtering my referrers through his host as an experiment.

Installing the tool seems to be simply a mater of adding


<script language="Javascript" src="http://www.downes.ca/referrers.js"></script>

We'll see how it works. I still haven't got metalinker working right and I haven't even tried to install Textism's Refer tool yet.
