To know from where the traffic comes from

You can use those tracking sites like: http://extremetracking.com and many others.

Or

If you have access to your webserver log files, like access.log (for Apache) and you can run Perl scripts, awstats is what I recommend. http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

EDIT: There's also this thing: http://mapstats.blogflux.com/ which uses google maps to plot out your visitors.

EDIT2: Check this one out as well: http://www.google.com/analytics/

We unfortunately aren't able to install awstats on our dedicated server because we don't have the right access Does anyone know of any other similar packages that are web based? I use awstats at work and I really like it.

You should be able to look at your server logs in some form. Your host should have something installed for that. If you want to see which sites are linking to you, you can go to yahoo and do a linkdomain: command on your site (so linkdomain:meganjack.com - I forget if you need to put in the http:// or not). Yahoo is much more thorough than google's link: command which only shows a sample of the inbound links. Yahoo also sorts the links by importance, so the strongest links are at the top (that would be best quality not necessarily highest traffic)

I don't know what exactly happened - Jeevesbond tried to install it yesterday and couldn't get the right access. I guess we aren't able to run perl scripts maybe, I don't know. He's going to put in a support ticket.

If you need any help, I'd be more than glad

Taken care of - the host is going to charge us a 5-er to install it for us (forget how to do the pound symbol... again!). Dunno if that's per domain or not.

But thanks
