I'm guessing that they mean if you use the 'traditional' way of breaking out of a frame i.e. using the Javascript "top.location.href=location.href;" to immediately break the frame, then in effect it is calling your page from itself and not from the original referer... thus appearing as tho someone came to your page/site twice. Once from the referring site and then again from a bookmark or favorite and so, not giving a (completely) true reflection of traffic.

1 - Google's image browser is in a frame.
2 - Thumbzilla (and others) use them for their "extra" content
3 - There are sites out there that pull others in frames to appear to have loads of their own content!

The above makes sense...

Soooo, if I'm breaking the frame my server records should show HALF as much traffic or TWICE as much traffic as a result of the "page coming from the referrer" and then again "as a bookmark" to that particular page when a surfer is coming in from a site using frames?

Thanks all.

So how can I narrow and count this occurence of traffic coming from "bookmarks"?. I'm guessing the only way is to estimate previous traffic to the designated url that traffic is coming to and cut it in half?
