---- Google Announces Page PreFetching (again) - beta

This is showing up in analytics as direct traffic and Google as the source. My charts are more accurate without this data so a way to set this data aside or give it it's own "prefetched" heading is a must. Prefetch needs some work.

My charts also show me some odd behavior - my site is getting the same total traffic give or take a small % but as the direct traffic from Google increases the search traffic decreases. It's almost as if I am capped within a range and prefetched is costing me natural visitors, could that be ?

Google - please respect the noarchive meta tag and do not prefetch pages that have it. thank you!

edit:
First, we’ve added some awesome to the omnibox by suggesting partial matches for URLs and page titles from your browsing history.

That's in the blog post?! - Google get the heck out of my browsing history!
