'Refering URL' stats question - GoFuckYourself.com

Sebring Studios · 07-06-2008, 05:36 AM

When I check my traffic stats (refering URLS) for example in ARS, the data shows X amount of hits from the various specific URLs and the majority from 'NONE.'

What the hell does 'NONE' mean?

none means there are no referring urls, most firewalls block that and well...firewalls are getting used by more and more people

I think I got it now thanks. So there IS traffic coming from somewhere, right? Has to be.

yes there is, you just don't know where from ;)

Just because it says NONE doesn't mean it was blocked by a firewall. It could also be direct or type-in traffic.
