With this you shouldn't have any limit on how far back you can check,
unless I run into the limits of mysql. We'll see. Certainly more than
a day though, unless you are Google's webmaster!

As fot the image, that won't be a problem, but you will need to pass
the image through a script. That is no problem at all, I intend to
include instructions on how to do so as part of the documentation. Or,
you will need to parse your apache logs (or whatever server you are
on).
