It'll log each page the surfer hits, as well as the referring url (or domain, or ip, your choice), so you can run a query (the function's already built into it) on the logfile for all the IPs that hit the success page, then go back and run those for their referrers.

No mods necessary, it seems... I don't know if it's okay to link you to the script here. LMK and I'll post the link if you want.

I'm sure it would work with any stats program of similar construction; I mention AXS cuz I've used it repeatedly (it even has a decent setup for tracking exits) and been able to shape it to my needs.

Good luck!

I use this script and it will not tell you who made the signups. The only way you can with AXS or any server log is to look at the IP address that was registered for the transaction thru your billing co. and then go back into your axs logfiles or regular server log files and query that same ip address, it only works sometimes because your server is not able to get every reffering url from every visitor.
