failed referrers are completely normal. if you watch your logs in real time you'll see shit that makes no sense, like you're getting hits from competitor's sites even though you're obviously not linked by them.

Apparently it is completely normal because in my daily server stats there are failed referrers listed everyday and as I have stated they are URL's from my pages and they are perfectly good working URL's. I was just curious to know what causes them to be reported as failed referrers. Apparently it could be any number of things so I guess I will just have to accept that for an explanation. Thanks for the input guys.
