Good Day,
Last week, my website, which is political in nature and gets aprox 30 visitors per day, ranked #1 on Google for "Boycott China", all of a sudden jumped to hundreds (the counts are from the free Urchin visitor reports that I get w/ earthlink). The actual pageviews are still down around 30 per day. This does however, throw off the calculations Urchin uses for the amount of time each visitor spends looking at the site (which I am very interested in) so that they all show as 0 seconds now.
This activity seemed to coincide with googles new accelerator, which fetches all of the links on a page when a user visits it. I have many inbound links, so I'm wondering if this is what's happening. The free version of Urchin does not give me the information about where the traffic is coming from, so I'm not sure.
Is there any text that I can put on my page that tells Google to bugger off and not pre-fetch my page?
Thanks,
Robert
