Referrals From The Most Unusual Places
We’ve had some referrals on our stats from very weird places, the Vatican for one, though there have been others. Most are oddities and we have to put them down to the vagaries of HTTP. However sometimes you get one that intrigues you.
How about this for an oddball referrer, http://www.microsoft.com/vista
We thought it was a bit odd so we searched the Microsoft site and look what we found.
PS, The referals (all 25 of them) do actually appear on our stats. If anyone else has had any referrals from “Microsoft” we’d be interested to hear.
Fascinating! And odd indeed… I just checked and I’ve received hits from the same URL as well!

The Vatican?
Wow…the Pope is a closet fan! Very cool!
lol…very strange!
The trippiest referrer or point of origin that I’ve had, to date, has been a lurker from the Pentagon.
Perfectly normal to me: being micro and soft they are in search of appropriate sites for improving their performances 😀
I rarely look at my referrals, but I think I’ll start checking it out now. How bizarre!
that, is so cool 🙂
Tara, I’m guessing it’s a spoofed HTTP header, but it was still amusing
Mr Fab, yep the vatican was a surprise
Dark Pixie, not as strange as me mwahahaha
Ana, they’re watching you
