  Hi,

  At present in site stats we have two options. “Top Posts & Pages” on right side and “Referrers” on left side. Is it possible to identify which articles are how many times referred by which referrers?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can see our referrers on our Stats pages. This is private information that does not display to our visitors in any widget.

  Referrers
  The referrers section lists other blogs and web sites that link to your blog. A view is counted as a referrer when a visitor of the other site clicks a link and lands on a URL of your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#referrers

  Timethief; I can’t see my referrers but I know I have some because I’ve seen my blog on other blogrolls. Any ideas?

  @bigfatmeanie101: I think this might help… (see “Why doesn’t the number of referrers add up to the number of total views?”)

  To that, I’d add that the referrer will not show if your visitor has disabled JavaScript or is visiting you from a browser that does not support it.

  You WANT the number of page views to be larger than the number of referrers to your site, that means that your visitors are sticking around and visiting more than one Post or Page.
