  I have a very unimportant and probably dumb question. I’ve noticed for a while that a “WordPress Dashboard” — text only, not hyperlinked — has been showing up in my Referrals list. Any idea what it is?

  It’s any place on another WP user’s Dashboard that can be a referral: Top Blogs, Top Posts, Fastest Growing, Latest Posts, Blog Surfer, or Tag Surfer.

  Most likely, it was Latest Posts or the Blog or Tag Surfer.

  I checked the blogs of the day list but I’m not there but I got referrals from http://wordpress.com/ Yes I’ve been here over a year and yes I’m stupid but what list was I on? I haven’t updated in a couple of days either.

  Abby gave the run down in the first answer in this thread so I’m not sure why you posted.

  But mine didn’t say WordPress Dashboard. I already get those. But today was the link http://wordpress.com/ So I checked the lists and I wasn’t on there and I had checked earlier this morning my stats and I didn’t have them. So I didn’t think I moved that quickly off fastest blog if that was the list.

  Don’t forget that it could be a “tag surfer” or “blog surfer” hit. Maybe it was someone with a private blog who clicked into your blog from the wordpress.com main page.
