I have a SiteMeter question and I am willing to accept stoopid as the basic answer even if it is me.
I have gotten a number of recorded visits for which one of my own posts is the referring URL how is this possible?
And another thing, I have gotten comments to the same post without a visitor registering at all. I get pathetically little traffic so I can tell. I tend to attribute this to SiteMeter not working but since it's the same post I can't help but wonder what the F*%# is going on.
UPDATE:This is an old post in Hold the Mayo terms. It is post #6, and in terms of comment volume the 2nd most popular one on the site!
Posted by Stephen Macklin at April 7, 2004 01:22 AMSitemeter definitely doesn't count visits sometimes.
That's probably how it gets a referrer like that. Misses the inital page load, and then sees someone going from one page on Hold the Mayo to another.
Posted by Pixy Misa at April 7, 2004 02:45 AMThis also happens if you don't have Sitemeter on the individual archive thingie.
Posted by Jennifer at April 7, 2004 03:10 AMWhich archive thingie?
The master archive index thingy in the top part
or the Individual entry entry archive thingy in the bottom part?
and where in the right one does it have to go?
Posted by Stephen Macklin at April 7, 2004 07:19 PMYou should put it in all your archive thingies, otherwise it won't count those pages.
In the individual archive thingy just chuck it in somewhere at the bottom.
