You can use a web analyser tool such as analog to perform this. The most 
important thing though you must set, is enabling at least the 'combined log 
format' (of course Apache speaking) or a 'custom log format'. You only have 
to include the 'referrer' field in it. In this way you get to know from 
which URL the user is visiting one of your website URLs.

I use analog for instance, which can give me a complete report on words 
used by user in my website: the only thing you have to do with it is that 
you explicitly have to instruct it on the way your htdig search engine 
recognise words (that is to say, through the 'words' field). By the way, if 
you have troubles you can post the inquiry to the analog list (Stephen will 
certainly help you).

For any info, feel free to ask!
