If this makes little sense, or if your thoughts are around, what’s the point? go read a) Avinash’s technical implementation post (which by its breath shows the pain in deployment) and b) Ian’s post about whence the universal tag? (which provide other great viewpoints on how to solve the current pain).

[...] Die link leidt nergens naartoe wanneer javascript uitstaat. Nou hebben de meeste mensen wel javascript aan, maar zoekmachines niet. Daarom kunnen veel sites met javascriptmenu’s een hoge score in zoekmachines bij voorbaat al vergeten; er valt voor een zoekmachine weinig te indexeren. Daarnaast blijven er altijd mensen die bijvoorbeeld vanwege bedrijfsveiligheid javascript niet aan hebben staan (ongeveer 5%). En zelfs voor je webstatistiekenpakket kan het een probleem zijn.

Hello Avinash,

I've just read this section in your book and came on your blog to see if you had anything more about the issue of redirects. As you know a large percentage of the traffic that arrives on your website comes with the referrer camp blank.

Are there any ways at dealing with these to glean any useful information, to help segment the data better?

The book is great btw!

I was also trying to customize a Visio web sitemap to capture page tag info but it will only return the meta tag titles and URLs.

When you refer to the nifty tool that Omniture has to validate tags are you referring to the Debugger?
