I believe any referral traffic from an https:// https:// site will NOT send the referrer header. It does not seem like the article is taking that into account.

- papsosouid 14y agoHe did mention that, but of course there's no way to figure out how much of that traffic is from https referrals. Of course, I wouldn't be shocked if 90%+ of https referrals are from gmail, which would put it right back to what he is assuming: email, IM, etc.
- Tipzntrix 14y agoYou make a pretty good point, but not just gmail. Pretty much all -mail providers use https when users access their web interface.
