  Well, if it has mail.google in it, then it’s from an email being read at gmail.com probably.

  drmike – this is what I’m getting from google in my referrers google.ci/search?hl=fr&ie=ISO-885…
  can you enlighten me as to what it is? The viewing is at least 3 or more pages.

  google.ci/search?hl=fr&ie=ISO-885…

  That’s an international version of google.com

  timethief, this is where that is coming from:

  http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:LfX_fWYCoYAJ:www.google.ci/+google.ci&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1

  Now if we can figure out what language that is, then we’re in business. It’s just like google.ca stands for Canadian Google.

  Cote D’Ivoire stands for the Ivory Coast. It’s a country in Africa.

  All that refer means is that somebody in the Ivory Coast searched for a term that found her website.

  Sifting out the search queries from the referrers requires us to maintain a list of search engine urls and query keys. google.ci will be added now!

  Thanks for the report.

  nosysnoop: what in the world made you think that MU concealed with France? :)

  However I’m trying to figure out how to see my own referrers, but I’m still in the quicksands. Any help? I can’t find it here in the forums.
