web tracking codes

I'm building a tool to scrape websites and pull out tracking codes so I can see which sites are related based on who is tracking them. Google codes are good for this as they identify the tracker not the site, Woopra tracking identifies the domain not the tracker so there is no way back to the person/group tracking the site. What other web tracking systems are out there which can be used to identify the tracker rather than the site? In case that doesn't make sense, this is Woopra code: function woopraReady(tracker){ tracker.setDomain('yourdomain.com'); tracker.setIdleTimeout(300000); tracker.track(); } which identifies "yourdomain.com" but this is google try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-7503551-1"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {} which identifies the tracker.
