A reference original

Posted July 15, 2008 in Computers by Did

For a website, the referrer is the page that led you to the site in question via a link or more rarely a form. For example, if you come here after a search on Yahoo, Yahoo will add my stats as a referent.

The reference that indicates where you come from can be blocked or changed easily. Blocked simply by changing a preference in Opera or input about: config in Firefox. And it can be modified including the extension of Firefox WebDevelopper (used by 100% of good web developers). ;-)

Once, my legendary paranoia made ​​me hide my reference and I changed my mind telling me that it allows webmasters to better know where I came from, and therefore perhaps more attention (= more sponsored links) engines or sites that I frequent, so I love.

->

This introduction to the referees just to say I found a reference in my original statistics, necessarily changed, which is: "Fuck you, you and your stats." :-)

Fun, as long as it remains marginal. Because it must be said that for a webmaster, it's frustrating not to know where visitors are coming!

    It's crazy to see some query typed on Google. I already have a ticket like yours, where a webmaster was a small list of the most unexpected requests, there were people who asked such questions as Google: "Google this ... why?".
    I myself have received requests very strange, but I do not remember (and I am too lazy to search tonight on my historical statistics to explore the strange sentences. ^ ^).

    True, but there is not a request, it is a hack to hide the page where it came from (if available).

    Yep, it's not been known which site you got here! ;-)

    If not for requests, I spoke of my search queries (it's easier just sex !), but the most bizarre requests is a good idea! I remember. :-)
