Jef poses this more as a question than as a supposition.  Is there any
way that we could start capturing information in a way that would tell
us results with more certainty?

I'd suggest you get with the Infrastructure guys and find out how we
could cull referral data in a way that would be helpful.  Perhaps that
data could tell us how effective various types of marketing work are,
so we could concentrate on doing the most effective things for
spreading news to *outside* the Fedora Project, and bringing those
visitors in.
