Oh! thats good for you

 

That link is not working. Did you change the settings and provide the statcounter link to your public stats - not just the link to that page?

The public stats link would look like this:

my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=XXXXXX&guest=1

 

Got what you meant.

Here is the link
my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=3948285&guest=1

Then go to recent came from (page3 ) or maybe page4 check urself.

 

I was wrong. It is certainly in your stats as a referrer.

You did not fake anything. Thanks for sharing the stat link!


Not to burst your bubble, but it looks like it is just a bot using fake/spoofed referrer. Looking at that visitor they are using Aopa as their ISP and this IP 208.27.40.35. I am not all that sophisticated with this stuff so I really don't know what it is.

well it could be a anaother homeland security hacker that had nothing better to do.

 

Is that a fake URL that hackers use?

 

he he well the Prez is not the only one in whiteHouse ..

 

Dude, Chill.. Thats just the referring URL..
Just open any official website, type your URL in the address bar.. HIT ENTER.. Done! You get a visitor added to your stats from tht website

Nice one.. =D

 

oh now I can say my friends that my friend is the friend of US President!

 

It could be someone FAKING where they are from

 

That's really funny...and frightening at the same time.

 

Be careful. You may me attacked by terrorists soon

 

Really ?
If that was so easy try opening the referring url and do that again.
Its impossible to fake as the site does not even open up for us.
Maybe its open just to people in the whitehouse.

Btw I am removing the public stats for now.

 

That's pretty cool, if it's real. Send him over to my site, will ya?

 

say my hi to the prez

 

Omg .. What's the point of all this stuff ? We all know that no one from White House will visit your site

 

No, you don't. There is no referrer carried in the headers in such a case.

As one person said, it's just referrer spoofing. A number of people browse while spoofing their referrer in order to increase traffic to their websites (people go "hey, why's that site sending me traffic?" and click on it) or to gain extra low quality backlinks (sites with publicly accessible and g-crawled stats pages)

 

Fake Don't be so happy about this - your site was visited by a hacker lol

 

Easy to spoof these types of things.
