I have no idea if this is possible or plausible...When you're viewing the referrers to your site on your web statistics screen, is there anyway to filter out pages from your own site? For example, http://www.maximumaw...ronthefloor.htm is a referrer to MA. Duh. It should be, because my pages ALL link back to the home page. The result is a very cluttered referrers section littered with many of my own pages.

Is there a setting I'm missing? Or is this a common problem?

On my web statistics there's an area where you can add the different URLs of your page. For example if I add MA to the list of URLs it allows them to better customize a report.

If this is what you're talking about then looking for a customize settings part, or edit settings, or maybe where your install code is might be the area to look for. It'd help if I knew who you use to record your stats.

If this isn't what you're looking for....sorry!

I use a third party stat service, and it allows me to enter the IP address of any visitor that I don't want to track. I'm not sure if I can ignore specific referrers, or if your stats have that option.
No.

I have some crap in cpanel that I could use but I find sitemeter.com works the best and gives me the most. They have upgraded options that are pretty cheap and go into a lot of detail. I think it does what you're looking for, not 100% sure but I think so. I just upgraded recently so I'm still getting used to all the technical crap that tends to confuzzle me. But sitemeter is by far the best (I think).

I use statcounter and it lets me put a blocking cookie so my visits don't count.
It also has a "Show external links only" setting for referring pages.

it's worked well for me.

I've never bothered even looking at that stuff.

All I care about is how people found me. Like the guy who came to my site after putting "Grandad fucking daughters" into Google...

My favorite ones recently were "skanky wet panty" & "horney bunny". It just baffles me how my site would come up for searches like that. Google and Yahoo have clearly categorized my blog in some messed up way.

Back on topic, ... did you find what you needed, Dave?

Dave: I use site meter but it's only the free version so I don't think there's a way to do that.

Rissah those are class!

What's funny is apart from a couple of posts, I don't even discuss things in the context that they're presented in the search string.

I've been bent double laughing over some of them.

Naturally, it brings a smile to my face when I see multiple search hits for

"hate dooce"
and
"dooce hate"

But my proudest one is
"gil gerard"

He's the star from Buck Rodgers' and I got multiple search hits from that for months after Frank mentioned him in one of his advice columns.
