No Referrers - Log Question

[Dzinerbear]

Hi all,

I hear people talking about bookmarked traffic and I'm wondering how they're seeing this in their logs. How is it labelled? Every day I have a lot of traffic that is labelled as "no referrer" is that my bookmarked traffic?

I use WebLogExpert, btw, to analyze my stats.

Thanks

Bookmarked traffic can be analysed differently from program to program however, your best bet is that if something has no referring url and / or an entry page of '/' that is a high chance of a bookmarked visitor in my experience.

"no referrer" can also mean type-in traffic.

it could also mean they are surfing through a proxy, a firewall or an anonymity program that strips out referrer info.
