My stats report shows traffic from iwebtool.com a lot. I am just wondering, for instance, why I would be getting so many click throughs from http://www.iwebtool.com/link_popularity. This month alone I have 70. I also have clicks from iwebtool backlink checker and page rank checker. I am familiar with iwebtools since I do use it, however, I am unsure as to how my reports are showing some many visitors from this site. Any thoughts on this?
We'll, not really. I use the tool to mostly check other sites out not my own. Also, I thought in order to show up on my stats report, the site would have to be visited? Is that not correct? Just by checking a sites page rank or something would constitute a visit? For instance, if I enter in a site to check link popularity out, but never actually visit the site, would that show up?
Every bit of encounter counts. If you entered a site then that would count. If you click on any link within the site then that would count. When you check for link popularity, it refreshes the page and that counts. The only way it would not count is if you place a filter on your analysis software to exclude your IP Address/subnet.
