    I was just checking my Analytics stats for today and I noticed on referred sources that google.com (referral) has sent me 8 visitors today. What is this? It is different from google (organic) and google (cpc). How would google.com send referralls?

    Anyone see this before?

    Drill down into the keyword and content tools. What keyword was it? What was the filename?

    Google organic is a visit from the SERPs
    Google Referral is a visit from the personalised Google home page or Google Reader (and maybe other services)
