I was looking through your report (I have been dealing with "Web Analytics" for years and was interested to see how it all looks for a site like this) and noticed you have a lot of referers from this site:
From the looks of it that article links directly to some images on your site of the MySQL Control Centre.
With regards to the titles thing, most log analysers use the low tech method of actually retrieving the page to get the title :)
The other common way is basically your hidden image way, except the URL is generated using Javascript which can grab info like screen resolution, javascript version, the document title, etc, and add them as query parameters.
