Major Site Hit but Don't know where from

  • Unknown's avatar

    Over the last couple of posts on my blog I’ve noticed that my blog is getting more hits on individual posts then normal but only about 5 sites have been referring people to my blog, 4 from Facebook, 1 from wordpress itself. I guess I don’t know how to look this. It seems awefully high for just two referring sites to give me well over 70 blog hits a day.

    I’m not complaining about the hits I am just confused on how to understand these stats alittle.

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

    I’ll add that one of the sites is also

    [spam referrer removed]

    uh no clue about that site to be honest.

  • Not all views have referrers. Some visit directly, some come from a link they received via email or feed reader, and some have security software that filters their referrer.

    I took a quick look at your stats and I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. It looks like you’re getting some very healthy visit numbers.

    The referrer you posted is a spam referrer, which is unfortunately common, like comment spam.

    Please contact us via http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ to report it and refrain from posting them on the forums. They don’t need any more free publicity.

    I have already passed along the one you listed, so there’s no need to report it this time.

    Sorry I do apologize I just didn’t know where to post that referrer and I was skeptical of posting it on here in the first place.

    Thanks for letting me know that I’m getting some healthy hits!
