Accidentally set referrer as spam but unable to unset it
-
I just tried creating a topic about this but when I added the topic, the forum topic it shows up as says it was created 46 years ago and it was automatically locked? I’m not sure what’s going on…
Anyway, I think I accidentally set a referrer as spam but I navigated away from my stats page before I realized that must have been what happened since it’s my biggest referrer and it was no longer showing up in my stat reporting. Based on my search of the forums, it looks like once I wasn’t on the stats page where I accidentally clicked on the spam link, I can’t unset the spam flag for that referrer anymore without a mod’s help?
Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Oh, oops. Forgot to say what the referrer link is. The referrer is the novelupdates.com domain.
Again, thanks for any help that can be provided!

Hi there,
I don’t see blocked referrers on any of your sites. It could be that it’s just taking a while for new stats from that referrer to show up. Try clearing your browser cache to see if that updates things.

I did clear my browser cache but that doesn’t seem to work.
I assumed I had somehow blocked the referrer since it dropped out of my stat reporting so suddenly out of the blue and without that information, I lose a big chunk of how I’m actually getting my traffic since it’s my main referrer. The domain of the referrer has disappeared from all of my stat reporting so now when I look at my stats, there is no explanation for the spike of traffic I got from the referrer.
Is there any other explanation for what might have happened? Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi there,
It turns out at least one other blogger has also reported referrer stats from that site disappearing. We’re looking into it and I’ll update you once we know more.

Okay, that’s good to hear that I’m not suddenly imagining things. Thanks for looking into this! I hope this can be fixed…

Hi there,
That referrer should be showing in your stats again now.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
