  I followed a trackback from my blog to StatCounter.com This is the url I followed http://my3.statcounter.com/project/standard/camefrom_activity.php?project_id=1348508

  I know WP is tracking our stats and I also have installed a site meter and clustrmap. But do you know who these people are and why they are watching my stats? How come I’m a “project”? Is this okay? [I feel kind of creeped out by it. Am I over-reacting?]

  Note that it says “camefrom”. It’s probably a referral link. ie A visitor to your site clicked on one of your links and wound up on a site that uses StatCounter to track their visitors.

  Hope this helps,
