My blogging philosophy and my need to analyse my referral log

One of the primary reasons that I blog is to help the community, I don't really expect anyone to directly subscribe to by blog (just out of curiosity does anyone?). I depend on people finding my information through search engines. Most of my posts are technical things that for what ever reason I spent some time figuring out how to accomplish.

Like most people when I try to figure out how to do something I first do a google search and most of the time I can find what I'm looking for pretty quickly but there are times when I wish the information was easier to find. Those times are what most of my blog entries deal with. If I figure out a solution to that particular problem and it is easily bloggable then I will post a blog entry about it. The hope is that if anyone else has a similar problem I will save them the time that it took me to figure out the problem. Of course there is also a time issue, I obviously don't have time to post every solution that I figure out but I try to post or queue up the ones I believe will be the most helpful. For my blog queue I actually have a separate task items folder in Outlook so that if I have an idea for a post I will add a new task with a quick note about the idea.

So in order to determine if my blog is getting the correct google searches I want to analyze my referral log. I know I can manually check my referrals through the admin interface but has anyone written or know of any little utilities that will gather and parse all my referrals and give me some stats about the google searches that found my blog? If no one knows of any then I may try to write one when I get time.
