You do know how the internet works do you? It is possible to scrape logs for
referer URLs, but that's a guestimate at best and won't find referals from
locations that aren't websites (such as books pointing to an URL for more
information, or links from desktop application). Finding contact information
for websites is non-trivial as well.
