Hello All,
I'm getting zero "Visits Referred by Search Engines" out of 93,983 visits last quarter. From what I've been told this stat has always resolved to 0. This is my first experience tracking web stats and I'd appreciatte any advice on how I would go about traking down the issue? We are using Log Analyzer v7.0a for the report. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Does the server have referrer tracking turned on? I'm no server pro, but I believe this function is optional.

How would I find out? I went through IIS and didn't see a referance to it. There is a server extensions tab which is not set up, is it there?
Thanks!

Computer Management -> IIS -> Web Site -> RightClick-> Properties -> Web Site Tab -> Click Properties button at bottom under Enable Logging -> Extended Properties Tab ->
Extended Properties -> Referer (cs-Referer)

Make sure that's checked.
