Please tell me what a search string is and how to find them!

If you go to http://members.keenspace.com/your_username/logs down near the bottom of the page it will list your search strings.

I used my paperbug account just now to look that up and couldn't help noticing PSC on my referrals list a few times! Yanagi doesn't link to me as far as I know... How odd.

(EDIT: Removing a stupid typo I spotted the moment I clicked submit... Again.

"Search strings" are what people type in to search for using a search engine, like Yahoo! If you aren't in any search engines, you won't get that selection. It's just below referrers on usage stats for a month.

When there's a dropdown, the system puts the page and the dropdown as 1 refferal.

I've removed myself from the dropdowns I was in though...

A search string is what someone types in on a search engine to find your site.
You can find it in your logs, unless you don't have any search strings yet. Simple.

Okay, now I'm out of ideas.

When I read comics on daily basa, and that's always a few comics that are interesting to me at the moment, I go through their main pages using favorities list, or adress bar queue. Then, those comics get reffers one from each other, probably even more times a month, because though i read them in different order - it's a pure probability that i go through some of them in same order more days. To me seems obviously that this is what happened, although I must inform that it was not me in case of Odd and PSC.

Btw we all get quiveringfuckholes. In reffers, that is.

While I get no quivering fuckholes, I DO get referrals from urine-fetish message boards. *shudder*

I thought we covered this whole referral thing before!? If someone visits someone else's site before visiting yours, then that page comes up as a referral. So if they type in your address or go to their bookmarks to get to your site, then the site they previously visited pops up as a referral. At least, that's how it was explained before I think...

But obviously, everybody wasn't paying attention. That RARELY happens and if you've got more than 1 or 2 referrals coming from a site, there's gotta be some other explanation.

Some sites (mostly porn, it seems), have some sort of script that "writes" a referral when you travel from that site to somebody else's. That's where your average inexplicable referral is going to come from.

So a few people who had finished reading PSC were magically by the thought to visit Paperbug?

A comic that has been dormant since freakin' March?!

I need to spin this over...

*spins around*

Yeah, but we have to repeat it again, so that those who didn't know it last time would have pleasure to explain it to someone too.

Actually, I tested that theory and I don't think it's true. It was probably a glitch if anything. Also, if you look at your referrers, usually all of 'em but maybe one or two will have a link to your site or something...it's usually not a coincidence.

But doesn't the referal come up as Direct Request if you type it in the little address bar?
