A problem with tracing various websites' referrer log via eXTReMe Tracking was mentioned before.
I detected the problem via another website too, so decided to enter eXTReme Tracker into Google and see how many website's referrer logs are open for inspection. It turns out to be lots and lots.
Check out the google search result here, and click through to a few different referrer logs to see for yourself.
To see some random examples, this one, and this, this, this, and this one for a UNESCO site.
I think I should contact extreme tracking and let them know.
Maybe they'll be concerned. Maybe not.
ADDED 1: I've just sent an email to [email protected] drawing their attention to the content of this blog post, and requesting a response.
ADDED 2: The result: Nope the jokes on me. That's the way the free version of extreme tracker is meant to work. Excerpts from the email I received from extreme Tracking's Herald'
"Free Tracker reports are indeed open to anyone, part of the deal"
and
"No security breach. If people want private stats they can go for the Non Public Tracker"
Case closed.
go for the Non Public Tracker.
