§Statistics.
Pivot provides also for simple referer statistics. In the statistics page you'll see who visited your, which browser they are using, when they visited, who referred to you, end whether they arriver to your site on your index page("/"), or directly to one of the entries, or from another page.
§Update Referrer to Title Mappings
While a referer can be an IP address or a hostname, Pivot has the ability
to map the HTML <title>-tag of a page to this IP or hostname. And to be honest: Simon's
incredible w00t!~ website makes for better reading than http://www.realcheaphosting.net/users/s/i/simon/pivot doesn't
it?
To retrieve the HTML titles of websites referring to you, click Update
the referrer to title mappings on your statistics page. Pivot visits
every single referer in your list to retrieve the title information, if
available. As you might understand, this can take a while, so sit back and be
patient. When finished, the boring http://address.of.website's will be
replaced by nice titles.
§Blocking Referrers
Or: How to Deal With Referer Spam
Owners of the gloomier sites on the web will do about anything to get you to their webpages. One of their tactiques is to visit your site, and trick your webserver into believing it was them referring to you. Now their website shows up in your referrers. When you visit their sites, you'll find not only that these people aren't really linking to you, but also that they're trying to sell you v.iagra, or memberships to adult sites, and so on.
Most of us don't want these websites showing in their referrers. And while you cannot prevent others to use fake referrers, you can make sure they will not appear in your referrerlist. To do this, simply click block in the leftmost column of your statistics, and you're all set.
There is also a file in your pivot/db/ folder called ignored_domains.txt. Domains in this file (which are confirmed spammers) will be ignored in the referers. From time to time there will be updates available for this file.
