Do you know that command? Can you tell me a good reference site for this type of stuff? I'm also interested in macro statistics for the web and web traffic.

Sorry. In any case, there is no way to just magically find out what sites link to you. If I have a page that links to your page you will not find out until somebody actually clicks the link. Now at that point, my site will appear in your web logs as a referrer. You can parse the logs and find out which sites refer to yours. I had a post about this a while ago <a href="http://mitechki.net/blog/2007/04/24/web-statistics-from-the-command-line/" rel="nofollow">Web statistics from the command line</a> I think there was a recipe there to gather referrers. If you have trouble using it, post a comment on that entry and I will respond.Angry UNIXoidhttp://mitechki.net/noreply@blogger.com
