Where did my visitors go?
April 16th, 2007 • Posted by Bill Bice • Permalink
We recently made a change to Website Reports to exclude search engine bots (as in "robots"). Google, for example, sends Googlebot crawling across the Internet bringing up web pages to keep their index current. With this change, those visits from Googlebot no longer show up as a visitor in your website reports (after all, Googlebot isn't known for buying spa services).
So, if you've been keeping score, you might notice that your Visitors number has gone down — but it is now a more accurate reflection of the actual visitors to your Dynamic Website or to your linked-in pages.
We've also added more depth to the Website Referrer and Keyword reports so that you can see more detail about the source of your visitors — just click on the links!
