Referring toplist solution

    If I would like to have a top referring list on my website, what is the best solution? Is there some finished code I can get somewhere? Anyone familiar with this?

    Say I want to display a list with the sites that has referred the most traffic and rank these sites on a top 100 basis.

    It's important that these sites can be registred somehow or else google probably will have number one spot all the time :) Another important part is that the incoming and outgoing links should be real links, no cgi/php-script that I'v seen most of these kind of sites use. Why not? Well...PageRank :rolleyes:

    Any pointers or comments would be appreciated.

    Method 1 : use referrer headers and sessions to track all the visitors to see where they came from and remove google from the data.

    Method 2 : give each site that links to you a special url to pass through (make sure it 301 redirects to your homepage) and track the data in a database. The drawback of this is that they have to use your special link or it fails.
