When I click on this It takes me to google search and show the results which are not linked to my website any way. I am not able to find why these entries are appearing in search results and these kind of entries are too many.
Is http://www.google.com/search?q…..87e4ae1e0c the exact referrer as in the log file or did you build it within the extra section ? I ask, because search results can be different in google.com, in google.co.in, in google.fr and so on. They can also be different depending on other parameters in the URL's.
Note that a referrer can be forged by a browser or by a robot. In fact, you never know iif a referrer is real or dummy. Admittedly, most of the time, it is real.
Anyway I have a theory about it. Not sure though. This could be generated by a robot. The idea behind it could be that nobody blocks a visitor sent by Google. It could be used by people trying to automatically record many pages of your site: could be a competitor or just someone who wants to re-use your information in another application.
Look at the user agents and at the IP addresses that generate these hits and you will possibly better understand what happens. You can do that with addtional extra sections or by directly checking the log files.
I did this in extra saction but using log files only. This kind of entries are not coming in referers. This entry is coming in google searches. I do agree with you that search result will be different for diff google servers but when I click on this value it takes me to same google sever.
My main concern is what are these entries. These are not searched keywords then why it is coming in google searches and that too its coming at no1 position. This is how it apprears as search keyword for google
From these logs we can understand that traffic is coming from google but still I fail to understand instead of writing proper keywords its reporting these numeric values. Why though the search is made on proper keywords like in line 1 if you check the search key words are hyderabad+latitude+longitude instead awstat is reporting the keyword as 12b81a5d82c30213 which is google's internal value.
When we put the same url in google it shows blank page. Please help me resolving this issue
Thanks for your response. Where u will make changes. Is it you are going to make changes in awstats source code or we require to make these changes in some config file of awstats.
If you are making these changes in source code how will get it implemented in our version of awstats.
Now I have checkd the file after modifcation suggested by you but still it doesn't work out. still the no. of keyword increases. I have a doubt why it is happening only for few keyword where as other keywords are reported properly. I get below mentioned entries in awstats report. You can just note down only few keywords are there with numeric value where as other keywords are reported accurately.
I tried to reproduce your problem here using the log file sample you sent (17 hits). I tried with AWStats 6.9 and 6.95, but I am not able to reproduce it. There was no abnormal (hexadecimal) keywords in the report.
I guess my conclusion above (when I was talking about an AWStats bug) was not correct.
Either the problem was not present in the sample, either your copy of AWStats has been corrupted in some way.
I think if you check logs I have sent the value 44adc7acd595e18a is there in one line I am not able to send you exact log becuase we delete logs after compilation due to it hudge size. I may require to send some biggerlog file to you for compilation how I can send it to you as I have to send aas an attachment.
I do agree with you the solution you have given doesn't worked out as the values changed after implemtations too. Need some more analysis.
As far as copy of Awstats is corrupted, I have multiple copies installed on multiple server its same happening on all servers
You can download log files of same domain using following link.
We are not using any plugins. I am writing the code we are using in extra section to read keywords of google
