1) the host provides them, how it does it depends on the host. I normally check the text file produced by the webserver directly, but many programs that can process them

2) when you connect to a web page via a link it includes a referrer.

the referrer is the page you came from. So when you do a search on google, the referrer contains the words that were searched for.

I was just wondering what referrer logs are. Are they something supplied by your web site host? Do you have to have a web site to see it? Also, how do you check the search strings leading to your site? Is that a function of google?
Sorry to post totally off subject but I am very curious.

Google is a web search engine. Its like yahoo or askjeeves. Only, like the difference btwn a toyota and a BMW, they may be both cars, but there are no more comparisons that can be made. Okay well, its not that great but its the search engine du jour. Therefore the verb “to google”" means to enter a topic into the search engine be it your name or that of your boss (so the example goes. Im still wondering what he was busted for??! Was he just researching a la Pete Townshend) and to see what kind of results you get back…

I googled my new boss and found that he got the job almost right after 366 days in Jail. I LOVE GOOGLE!!!!!

I once googled myself and found a guestbook entry I had made on someone’s website. When he asked what my favorite author/book was and I wrote Hashem/Torah – Those were the days my friend….! On the downside I just googled myself again and I found someone with the same name as me who died at age 87 in Plantation, FLA. If your name is conntected to your destiny (and my name is quite rare) does that mean I will live to a ripe old age?

every time i meet someone i google them. i’ve also googled my boss, my coworkers and a good number of the companies we work for. it’s as addictive as onlysimchas, and much more productive.
