As I've explained before, my grasp of post-Jurassic technology is weak at best, so forgive me if the following is a non-issue.
A month ago, I added a site meter to this blog. I've recently noticed when a referring link comes from another blog's site meter, it allows me into their stats--and then lets me move around within, to see things like their daily averages, where people come to their sites from, etc.
Is this normal? I would have thought this would be considered intrusive.
If it's a glitch, I'd think the respective site meter providers would want to know. If it's just normal, and all of you who have progressed beyond the Stone Age know all about it, in the words of Rosanna Rosanadanna, "Never mind."
Is there some setting I (and apparently others, and some of the blogs I'm getting into seem to be pretty sophisticated) should know about to prevent this from happening?
I guess what I don't understand is why do I need a front-end userid and password if just anyone with a stat counter can saunter in through the back door?
Educational feedback would be appreciated.
