  Looking over my statistics page, it appears that the vast majority of incoming traffic is not logged into the Referrers or Search Engine Terms.

  For instance, since the day clicked over 20 minutes ago, I’ve had one visitor from Chile. They do not appear in either Referrers or Terms. However, I know that he was sent to the page by Google.

  Anyone know what’s going on here?

  Our stats are not real time stats and take hours to update. What’s going on re: referrers is a privacy issue and is explained in support documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#search-engine-terms

  I suspect the issue is the “unknown terms”.
