IFF they just left one of your other sites, then you should be able to pass
a variable in the other site's header such as:
php.net/function-name?variable=from_somewhere_I_own
if the variable isn't set, then they came from a site you don't own.
or you could send them to a unique function-name where you can then record a
hit on that function-name.
<?php
function unique_name()
{
$hit="came from my other site";
pseudo code -- store $hit;
function run_me(you really want to run)
}
?>
