Too complex an explanation, I think. :-) I think it's simpler to look at it the other way round. The Referrer Report lists how many times each URL was a referrer. It may have been the referrer for a page or an image on your site. Maybe it would be worth your while looking at the first few lines of your raw logfiles. You'll see the referrers in there, and which files they referred to. The Referrer Report just counts up all those. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "Low Priced Cambridge Clare College. Big selection at eBay UK!"
