I'm using document.referr er method for tracking visits on my site. But it
seems that, when someone finds my site with google, this method returns
only:
"google.com/search?q=xxxxx" (good)
or
"google.com/search?hl=en" (bad)
or
"google.com/search?sourceid =navclient" (bad)
That meens, it returns only first parameter sent to google. "hl" defines
language and is used very often. BUT I want to see key words also (variable
"q").
Has anyone noticed that... or have any idea for the solution?
Thanks

My web server has a control panel that tracks all of that and more.
Check with your web host to see if they have a stats area.
document.referr er is not reliable.

I thought that is where the server got
the information for the logs ..they will
be the same information won't they?

Yes and no. Users (well, script kiddie types with nothing better to do)
can modify the referrer if you rely on script. They can't change what
the server sent in the headers. The OP was talking about getting the
values from javascript.
I meant that statement as an aside, though. I was mostly adressing the
fact that my host server tracks things like keywords used to get to your
site. The OP said
"That meens, it returns only first parameter sent to google. "hl"
defines language and is used very often. BUT I want to see key words
also (variable"q")."
My server tracks keywords used from all the major search engines.
Whether it uses referrer or not is a black box for me. I just get the
stats. And I get tons of stats. A lot of paid hosts have stats as part
of the package. It's nice.

Is that the full value of document.referr er, or do you do
some processing to the string that might be inadvertently
truncating it at the first ampersand?
As pointed out, though, it's usually much simpler to do
that sort of tracking with server logs and/or statistics.

Nop. Free web space from my ISP. No ASP no CGI no writing no database...
that's why I want to track it from the outside. Main reason is fun and
learning :)) document.referr er is not reliable.

This is my javascript:
<script language="JavaS cript" type="text/javascript">
var sRefer = "refer=" + document.referr er;
var sURL = "&url=" + document.URL;
document.write( "<img src='xxx/counter.asp?" + sRefer + sURL + "' width=1
height=1 border=0 alt=''>");
</script>
Inside ASP:
var sRefer = "" + Request.QuerySt ring( 'refer' );
var sPage = "" + Request.QuerySt ring ( 'url' );
URL is always processed OK.
As pointed out, though, it's usually much simpler to do that sort of tracking with server logs and/or statistics.
The fact is that I have a free web space from my ISP, but it doesn't allow
any active pages such as ASP or CGI. So I'm using other site with ASP and
database support to track visits on my noASP site.

Ha ha :)
After I posted this I've figured it out... off course.... second ampersand
is
taken as another variable. I just have to replace it in variable "refer"
with something else... like / :))

Hi,
I am trying to use the document.referrer to get the referrer of my
home page. Occationally, I get the value of
'blockedReferrer'. Actually how this happen, how the client blocked the
function of document.referrer. I just want to verify how this could be
done within the browser e.g. IE, Netcape and so on... what Internet
option have them activate or not activate to make me to have the value
'blockedReferrer'?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to put the last URL visited to a text input using

Hi All - I'm having a strange problem I'm wondering if anyone can shed some
light on.
When I use ASP or ASP.NET code to get the referrer information from the
server side, it comes back as null. However in these same cases
document.referrer returns the valid referrer. What could cause this?
In other words, with the following line:
ref = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") (or its ASP.NET equivalent)
