As far as getting the referer goes if it isn't in $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] then you probably won't get it unless you use other methods of tracking.

you won't be able to tell if they are coming from a bookmark from those that manually type the url into the field... and those that use referrer blockers to prevent you from seeing where they came from... they'll all have a blank referrer... even clicks on links in email come with blank referrers...

the best you can do is to group those with blank referrers into a catagory that says that those folk may have used one of the above methods and leave it at that...
