Tracking referring URLs?

Is there any way to track referring URLs on a cel page? One of my cels has been getting a lot of traffic and I'm curious where it's coming from. A Google search didn't reveal anything with a link to the cel (other than my gallery itself). It might just be someone who has the cel as their home page and everytime they open a new browser window it adds to the hit counter...

Oh Ted,

Are you sure it's not YOU whom is your own secret admirer of such lovely cels, ticking up that olde counter. C'mon...it's okay to admit...they are beautiful

;P

I'm curious about this, too. I have a sketch that did no business for three years, then has racked up close to 2000 hits since last summer.

My #1 visited item was indeed linked to another collector's page who coveted it. I suspected so, and I found the link. (But I'm not trading him the cel, so who cares?) #2 is a slightly suggestive cel that I protected with a "red curtains" thumbnail to keep from traumatizing little kids.

This sketch (Rengokuki and Entei from Inuyasha) is now #3. Is there any way to find out why?

I don't mind, I'm just curious.

A few months ago I was wondering where the hits on my sketch were coming from.

I experimented by sticking various pieces of text from the page into Google and also checking the text under "Google images". I discovered that someone had used the sketch picture as a basis for creating fan art of the character. I think it was the character's name and anime title that lead them to find the Google link.

All those clicks seemingly by one person distorted my "Popular Item Listing" numbers, but that's how it goes. I'm sure your "click numbers" are a lot further skewed off than mine though. ^_^

Of course I'm not pumping the numbers; when I obsessively look at something from my own collection, I do it through My Account so that doesn't happen...
(And I just realized I should have said "drawing", not "cel" throughout the original message.)
