What does it mean when this shows up as a referrer. Any chance someone's getting into my site??

No, this means that people have gotten to your site through their (not your) notifications; for example, the clicked the link to your site after getting a notification that someone replied to their comment on your site. Anyone who clicks that link will get to their own notifications, not yours.

Hope that answers your question!

And Etaew, postcount.net has been removed from the spam list. You should start to see those referrals popping up as usual now.

Cheers!

I'm really sorry for the vague reply - but do reply back or start a new thread if you see that weirdness again.

Etaew, I don't know - I have submitted your request, but I have no idea when the team will get through their other backlog to make a decision - I'm so sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

But for today (for example) you haven't had any referrals from three sheets, so it's not on the stats for today.

Or am I misunderstanding (completely possible...)

Could you confirm that you are not referring to the Today and Yesterday toggle views on your stats page, when you don't see three sheets appearing and disappearing, but at your summary?

It appears that postcount.net was actually eventually flagged by our anti-spam unit as a spam site. If you feel that this site was flagged erroneously, could you let us know? We can double check and make a determination.

@Auxclass, still checking on yours.

threesheets.com is threesheetsnw.com, right?

yes the same - my spelling problems - http://threesheetsnw.com/ is the correct site

Sorry about the spelling - thanks for looking into the glitch - I had the new Post traffic site without having any spike in referrals from three sheets

I think they have a bit of a misconfiguration on their end.

]]> windwhistle on "Weird stats" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/weird-stats#post-979731 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 19:59:31 +0000 windwhistle 979731@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ I know I've read somewhere that WP stats might not always "add up" if we try to do the math, but this puzzles me:

Today I noticed at noon that I already had 233 hits on an older post ("The dragon roared, Colo. Springs burned").

In the search terms, there are exactly 233 searches for the long phrase "waldo canyon fire map burned homes."

And under Referrers, there are exactly 233 searches originating from Yahoo Image Search.

This strikes me as an extremely unlikely convergence/coincidence of numbers. Readers of a given post usually arrive via several referrers, using similar but not exactly the same search terms.

Statcounter shows I have only 2 hits today on that post, both from the same person. These were an hour apart, the interval I set for unique visits.

I don't know what's going on but thought it might be a malfunction or bug that WP wants to look into. I'm unhappy because (a) it looks odd, possibly suspicous and (b) it's going to badly skew my stats on hits today and hits on that particular post.

Is there any way this could happen normally?
