When analyzing traffic sources for your site, you could use this to remove noise created by privacy conscious users. For example, if you wish to evaluate the efficiency of a magazine add, today you can't distinguish between ad conversions and privacy conscious users.
It'll take a while for clients to be compliant, if they'll ever be, though.
- gorhill 12y ago> if you wish to evaluate the efficiency of a magazine ad Sorry I still don't get it. No referrer or about:blank are both "noise" in such case, I still don't see how the distinction is useful to the server to evaluate efficiency of a particular ad.
- cheald 12y ago"about:blank" usually means "was opened from an external program, such as an IM client". "No referrer" means "A referrer may have existed, but inclusion of that information was explicitly declined as a part of the request". Both are useful.
