Get origin of Android Market link after install

Question

Is there any way to get the origin of a link to an app on Android Market after the app is installed?

Let's say I have three different web pages that link to the same Android Market app, can I get the origin of the link after the app is installed so I can use it for statistics and such?

Any solution to this is very much appreciated!
