No les, I don't think you get what we're doing :)
As far as Piwik counting referrers, from what I've read in documentation now, Piwik only records the referrer for the first visit to a site (during whatever they consider a session). So if a person arrives at the site from link x, then arrives at the site from link y on another site, then link y is not considered a referrer.
We are using the piwik api to create a custom report on every page. The author of the page views this data pulled from the main Piwik database, and it creates a custom report for visits and referrers for that specific page.
We need Piwik to record all of those referrer visits as referrer traffic, instead of whatever algorithm causes it to only count the first referrer for a session.
