AWStats and Links?

In the traffic statistics for my website there is a line in the table "Connect to site from". What does this line mean with the following statistics below?


Origin: Direct address / Bookmarks
Pages: 14439
Percent: 94.2 %
Hits: 23094

 

It means they didn't not click on a link to get to your site. They either had a bookmark or they entered the address directly.

But, what I don't know is...
- Does a JavaScript link fall into this category? I suspect it does.
- If I right-click on a link in FireFox and select "Open Link in New Tab", is the referrer still passed along, or is it also logged as a direct address/bookmark visit?

 

Err, "didn't not" should be just "didn't"

 

Do you think this number will mean anything for page rank?

 

I dont see any co relation between this number and page rank eh.. just like SixSigma said: it's a bookmark link i.e. someone type in your site or just click from book mark.

 

Do bookmarks impact PR, or just backlinks? I read that it was.

 

Neither - Search engines can't see peoples bookmarks, nor can they see javascript links.

Cryo.
