Referrer logging is used to allow web servers and websites to identify where people are visiting them either for promotional or security purposes. You can find out which search engine they used to find your site and whether your customer has come from a ‘linked site’. It is basically the URL of the previous webpage from which your link was followed.

By default, most hosting accounts don’t include referrer logs but may be subscribedd for an extra monthly fee. If your web host does not provide a graphic report of your log files, you can still view the referrer logs for your website by logging into the host server using free or low-cost FTP software, like these:

FTP Explorer:   http://www.ftpx.com/
LogMeIn: http://secure.logmein.com/dmcq/103/support.asp
SmartFTP: http://www.smartftp.com/
FTP Voyager: http://www.ftpvoyager.com/

The log file is available on your web server which can be download into your computer later. You can use a log analysis tool, like those mentioned below, to create a graphic report from your log files so that the files are easier to understand.

Abacre Advanced Log Analyzer http://www.abacre.com/ala/
Referrer Soft http://www.softplatz.com/software/referrer/
Log Analyzer http://www.loganalyzer.net

You can view the files using Word, Word Perfect, txt or WordPad files even if you don’t have the right tool. This information is very crucial to your business and marketing plans and is not advisable to neglect it.

In addition to identifying the search engine or linked site from where your visitor arrived, referrer logs can also tell you what keywords or keyword phrases your client used for searching.

As referrer information can sometimes violate privacy, some browsers allow the user to disable the sending of referrer information. Proxy and Firewall software can also filter out referrer information, to avoid leaking the location of private websites. This can result in other problems, as some servers block parts of their site to browsers that don't send the right referrer information, in an attempt to prevent deep linking or unauthorized use of bandwidth. Some proxy software gives the top-level address of the target site itself as the referrer, which prevents these problems and still not divulging the user's last visited site.

Since the referrer can easily be spoofed or faked, however, it is of limited use in this regard except on a casual basis.. hope its usefull.

If you've been using Google's AdSense on your pages you obviously feel the need to somehow generate even more traffic for your website, which in turn would translate to more AdSense click and a higher income. But who do you do this? Well, the major way you'll get visitors to see your website (other then using AdWords, which is encouraged as well) is to use some techniques to have search engines send more and more users towards your page, by ranking high in search results for your topics of interest.

Video blogging has a lot of advantages over text-based blogging, and it is little wonder that this new technology is catching on all over the globe. Video
blogs very effectively grab the attention of web surfers, and people are much more likely to become excited about the dynamic content of a video blog than they are likely to find a written posting very thrilling. The more enthusiastic viewers are about a site, the quicker the word of mouth spreads, and the more traffic the site will get.

Coffee has frequently suffered from a health image problem. As Ian Bersten points out in “Coffee, Sex & Health” (Helian Books), it could be coffee’s bad luck to have had a name so close to its alkaloid component, caffeine. However, coffee can play a role in keeping you healthy if consumed in moderation as indicated in the following research:

Mark Florence, former chief scientist with the CSIRO and co-author of “The Handbook of Preventive Medicine” (Kingsclear Books) found that brewed coffee minimalises the action of a chemical called theophylline which helps dilate bronchial muscles which become constricted during cold or flu epidemics or in asthmatics. He recommends drinking no more than 2 cups brewed or 4 cups instant per day.

In Mark Walqvist’s book “Agefit: Fitness and Nutrition For An Independent Future” (Pan MacMillan), it is reported that coffee releases fat from fat cells and assists in weight loss. He also says that coffee may play a role in cancer prevention but stresses the links are weak. He points out that the way in which coffee is made may determine how beneficial it is - freshly filtered is best.

After analysing 17 published studies on coffee consumption and colorectal cancer, Professor Edward Giovanucci of Harvard Medical School found the risk of colorectal cancer to be 24 per cent lower among those who drink four or more cups of coffee per day than the risk among those who rarely or never drink coffee.

Coffee contains potentially cardioprotective flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties, so the occasional cup of coffee may not be bad for you, it may even provide some benefit.

Common levels of caffeine in foods and beverages are described in the table below :

Beverage  :                                                     Caffeine content (mg) :
instant coffee                                                1 heaped tsp 90mg
percolated coffee 200ml                           100mg
brewed (drip method) 200ml                 140mg
cappuccino                                                      80mg
espresso 100ml                                             80mg
cafe latte                                                           55mg

The recommended intake of caffeine is less than 200mg/day.

Based on recent evidence, it seems that up to three cups of coffee or equivalent caffeine intake a day will not do any harm (unless you are pregnant, suffer from stomach ulcers, hypertension or heart arrhythmia) and may indeed provide some health benefits.
