I'm getting a bunch of referrals from a site. When I go there, there is no link to my site on the page. How are they doing that? Are they just pinging my site in php?
that's a good question. possible that the link has been removed... do the referrals still show in your analytics now?
It might be temp link and google cached it... and after got cached link removed from that specific page... Thats how the referel link missing issue occur most often time...
I have not had issues with the referrals not showing but analytics saying Ive received traffic from search queries that I would not think would be made. Something to where I would type in a query, then the next couple days I would see traffic from that search term. Very odd.
sounds like referrer spam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referrer_spam http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Analytics/thread?tid=1b081a7bc5e0fc97&hl=en http://convalytics.com/spam/google-analytics-referrer-spam/
I get the same thing too I just thought that it was a link that rotated in on of the ads Now I know what it is. Thanks
