And will start to put more images into my posts . . . ;-) </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/170#post-568 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:16:49 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 568@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Actually Karl, we recently made a change to fix a bug in referer URLs that were not correctly showing some referers.</p> <p>Those image referers you are seeing are users who did an Image search on google, like what they saw and clicked on the "see image in it's original page"... So those are legit visitors... they're just getting to your blog in an unusual way. </p> <p>The bug we fixed was incorrectly placing these referers into the "internal" category. Now we correctly show you where those readers really came from.</p> <p>Oh, and now I know why that crazy 4th of July post is so popular... apparently a lot of people are searching for images if Shetland Ponies. Go figure. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/170#post-564 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 06:30:20 +0000 KarlOnSea 564@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Hi -<br /> I think Google's image crawler is getting through the stats filter - I've seen a big upturn in my stats with the referrer images.google.[com, .co.uk, .hu, .jp, .co.nz, etc]/imgres</p> <p>I think it's accounting for about half to 2/3 of the reported traffic!</p> <p>Karl. </p>
