Should this be a sticky?
Should we have a special section for polls?
Sorry, I only have questions and no answers, but that's just the way I feel tonight.
I copied and pasted, then voted, and much to my dismay, my candidate isn't a front runner.

Do you realize that would take sifting though tens of thousands (or more) of hits in log files?

And even worse on a site like AOL.com that gets *millions* of hits per HOUR even WITH log analysis software, it'd be difficult.

Hell, on my website that gets about 3,500 hits per day, it's a pain to keep track of who's linking to what pages on my site.

Besides, WHO CARES that they can see that it was linked from OMG Guns websites? The webmasters probably don't care, and these polls aren't anything more then opinion anyway.
