Strange link in analytics

Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 9:52 am

I m using Google analytics only since a few days. The problem is it shows me a site which isn´t mine. Have I been hacked or not ? I can´t find out why there is an other link in the overview for my site mysite.com/something.com/ in analytics.
This link goes to my 404 page.
Have I been hacked. I don´t believe it.

I don't use it. I tried a couple of times in the past and I didn't like the fact that Google was capturing/storing even more data Shocked

. But back to your question. I believe that GA tracks inbound (and possibly outbound) links for analysis. Could that be what you're seeing?

Could be an old redirect or something like that. However, I´m quite sure it should not show under my content sites. Maybe I should submit a bug report.
