    This happens to me a lot, but I will give the details of this as it happened today.

    Google analytics says there is a 246 unique visits comes from direct traffic for one of my pages (not the home page) which is very strange! So I thought, There are two possibilities:

    First, Maybe visitors are bookmarking this page, which is so hard to believe because it's not logical that suddenly 246 visitors have bookmarked -and visited- the page!

    Second, Maybe those visitors have disabled Java Script but GA says that only 8 visitors have Java Script disabled!

    I really cannot understand where this "Direct Traffic" come from!
