*Over the course of a year, various spam bots may begin to visit the site at a high rate. As they did so, I added them to a referral exclusion list, but their initial visits are not disaggregated from the overall totals. These sites are also excluded from the top referrers list. Additionally, all visits from my own computers are excluded.
**Google switched its analytics platform midyear. It is possible that some categories are overinclusive and others are underinclusive due to overlapping or mismatched data.
