Sorry this response is late: I said Sitemeter, not statcounter. The free version only lists the last 500 visitors to your site, complete with referrals. But that's what you get for a free service. Shell out some bucks and get a good stat service. It's more than worth the price.
I also dont get what's you mean"down for 3 days" ,server ? if so, maybe some guy stolen you content(including you adsense) on his site.
Nice going, Dom. Hope all goes well for you. Keep us posted on this, will ya? I'm sure there's quite a few of us who'd like to know what you did right.
