  Hello friends! Today when viewing my blog stats for MY DIGITAL NOTEBOOK (wpgaurav.wordpress.com); I found some odd things like this: http://wpgaurav.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/screenshot.png . This is not a serious problem but confusing.

  Hi there,

  Could you please describe the issue you’re encountering?

  I’d be glad to help you sort this out. :-)

  Google, Bing etc are working as referrers instead of search engines and the sum of referrers and search engine terms is greater than the number of hits I got today.

  The two won’t necessary add together.

  In your screenshot you have 83 referrers from search engines, and of those 83 referrers, 68 passed on search engine terms. In this case, you have 83 referrers (63 with terms) out of 101 views, which means that 18 must have come from other sources.
