I was just checking my account and noticed the stats for one of the yellows:

Quote:

Signup timestamp: 11:15:58, 30/06/09
Referring URL: deleted
Country: Other
Chosen Gift: Nokia N82 SIM Free

Why does the referring url say deleted?

No idea, not an exception we coded.

For some reason that was what was stored in http_referrer

Your referral was very naughty!

What is it that defines an 'Untracked' referral? Most of my yellows display this, which is extremely annoying as I would prefer to know where they came from.

The referring URL is blank basically. What format are your links in? <a> anchor tags?

There's plenty of reasons why it could be blank! Refreshing the page, copying/pasting the link, using an older browser... the list is rather large.
