Okay. I'm probably being oversensitive.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She probably has a sitemeter/counter that tells you from whence a visitor came (that gives a specific page, obviously, not just the domain).
More likely she was checking referrer logs. It's what I do.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Do the referrer logs give the specific page URL?

I'm not unimpressed that she went through and registered and (nicely) asked the question.

Yeah, that's what I meant, in so many words.

In case you need to say it again -- I'd drop the meter/counter lingo, since that's something different.

Are there referrer logs that come without a meter/counter? I've only seen them as part of the various bits of information a meter/counter provides for you.

Referrer logs are a standard HTTP server function. Every time a web page is served up, information is written to a file.
Meters and counters -- well, I'm not sure precisely how meter is defined, but counters have no inherent relation to or dependence on a referrer log.
There's nothing you have to do or install to have server logs generated -- the magic is in parsing them usefully.
