 * Hi
 * I am finding that traffic shows up correctly when I type my domain name directly
   into the address bar, but that it is either missing or incomplete if I enter 
   via facebook links or google search links. Do the pages visited only show up 
   if they have completely finished loading? The ‘referer’ box is blank. I installed
   this first on my test site and didn’t have this problem so I’m not sure what 
   is different this time? I have deselected ‘Show statistics on the OS and browser
   types of your visitors?’ and am not using the google analytics yet.
 * Thank you in advance for your help

 * The page is count when it is completely finished loading …
    The refer box is 
   set up by the browser and thus, if you have a confidentiality configuration on
   that browser the referer is empty !
