I'm thinking of writing a little Drupal module over the next couple weeks. In thinking about what to do, it ocurred to me that one of the most often things I look at in my analytics are inbound links from other sites. I then go to those links to see what they said about my site :-)
I do this right now using off-site analytics packages, but there's no real reason that Drupal couldn't track this information itself. I could detect an inbound referrer link and store it in a new table - eliminating the need for an analytics partner for just this info. Then in the admin side, it'd be really easy to present that information - and it's a great fit for that shiny new D7 dashboard :-)
I haven't found any great fits for what it is I want to do, but I also haven't thoroughly explored the many 'statistics plus' modules that are out there, so I figured this would be a good place to ask if this is worth implementing!

Drupal already has referrer info
Check out the accesslog table; url field.

Cool, so that saves the need
Cool, so that saves the need to write anything to capture it. How about letting admins get at this data? Is it displayed somewhere? I haven't messed much with the statistics module so it might be someplace obvious.
It seems like a natural fit for that shiny new D7 dashboard. :-)
