How do people find out who visits their weblogs? How do they determine who links to their weblogs?

Thus far, I’ve found nothing in Movable Type that is a referer’s list. I use three different (free) meters, but they provide a limited or cryptic view of who has been here and who links to this weblog.

Now comes Refer 2.02. At this point, I have but one question. Does Refer 2.02 require that my weblog entries are stored in a MySQL database?

I believe there are configuration settings (somewhere) that allow MT to save entries in MySQL, but I don’t know what the alternative is (Berkley DB support?). Whatever it is, that’s what I’m doing. Can I still use Refer 2.02?
