how do you get these stats? what exactly does the most popular referrer and serach query mean?

[Firestorm ZERO]

The server has statistic programs installed.

Referrer means the HTTP referrer. Whenever you click a link, the referring page (previous page you were on) is sent as well. So that means in Long Range Bullet's site there was a link to my site and someone clicked it.

Search query are the keywords from search engines like google, yahoo and such. If you notice the search engines uses the GET method so the keywords used in the search are shown in the URL after the ?. Just like the referrer, the server reads this and separates it for me. So for the search query, lots of people went to a search engine like Google and typed in "zero type forum" and click the link to get to my site. And what makes that particular query interesting is it shows that a lot of people don't bookmark

cool i did not know that.

any possibility you could shrink the height of the banner?

[Firestorm ZERO]

Shrunk it 50px. Better?

[MrDisco]

i'd shrink it even more so the gap between the words and the border is the same on the top as the bottom

but yes its much better thank you (i hate using a tiny 14" laptop screen to surf)
