Improved Referrer Logs
January 2nd, 2003 by gregr
I have reworked the individual page referrer logs to show the title of the referring page where possible, rather than the URL. Here’s a good example.
This page lookup is done asynchronously behind the scenes; so in most cases, the referring page title won’t show up on the initial view, but it will typically be there within a few seconds.
I’d love to hear your feedback…and a big thanks to Les at 0xDECAFBAD for giving me the idea.

If you are going to fetch the URL in order to get the title, you might as well verify that the link to your page indicated in your referrer logs is actually present. Meanwhile, I left you a present above. ;-)
