This can be helpful, trust me. AWStats has a rudimentary mechanism for
per-search engines breakdown to and a monthly aggregation of numbers, which
you can view every morning/evening/whatever. Visitors (0.6, Dmitri
recommended it) gives a daily Zeitgeist of Google referrals, which are rather
important to me as they account for 20% of all traffic. Again, it's
non-commercial, but if the referrals are there (and tracking of the numbers
can flag mistakes or -- contrariwise -- doors to success), why not use it?

There is another factor which is how many pages were indexed as opposed to
"made available", i.e. uploaded. The more pages you have, the lower the
PageRank, although it is dependent on front page structure (off- and on-site
links). Doorway-like front page can pull a lot of 'energy'.
Example (oops! wrong keys pressed earlier):
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/aflavell.html (from the HTML newsgroups)
PageRank is 8, only 47 inbound links.

It's PR5 over here, probably owing to datacentres. Try MCDar and see what
different datacentres report as the PageRank.
Best wishes,
