Content is king. Millions of
web users search daily for fresh, relevant content, and now your
previously unused domain names can provide exactly that.
Referrer logging is used to allow web servers and
websites to identify where people are visiting them either for
promotional or security purposes. You can find out which search
engine they used to find your site and whether your customer has
come from a 'linked site'. It is basically the URL of the previous
webpage from which your link was followed.
By default, most
hosting accounts don't include referrer logs but may be subscribedd
for an extra monthly fee. If your web host does not provide a
graphic report of your log files, you can still view the referrer
logs for your website by logging into the host server using free or
low-cost FTP software, like these:
The
log file is available on your web server which can be download into
your computer later. You can use a log analysis tool, like those
mentioned below, to create a graphic report from your log files so
that the files are easier to understand.
You
can view the files using Word, Word Perfect, txt or WordPad files
even if you don't have the right tool. This information is very
crucial to your business and marketing plans and is not advisable to
neglect it.
In addition to identifying the search engine or
linked site from where your visitor arrived, referrer logs can also
tell you what keywords or keyword phrases your client used for
searching.
As referrer information can sometimes violate
privacy, some browsers allow the user to disable the sending of
referrer information. Proxy and Firewall software can also filter
out referrer information, to avoid leaking the location of private
websites. This can result in other problems, as some servers block
parts of their site to browsers that don't send the right referrer
information, in an attempt to prevent deep linking or unauthorized
use of bandwidth. Some proxy software gives the top-level address of
the target site itself as the referrer, which prevents these
problems and still not divulging the user's last visited
site.
Since the referrer can easily be spoofed or faked,
however, it is of limited use in this regard except on a casual
basis.
