Why are all of my referrals for Sitemeter coming from my website URL?
You’re probably using iframes and have placed the Sitemeter code inside of the iframe. To actually find out where your referrals are coming from you’re going to need to put the Sitemeter code on the page with the iframe codes (the layout page).

What does it mean to change permissions/CHMOD?
Change permissions/CHMOD basically means that you need to change the permissions on a folder or file so that the script can access/modify it. The way to do this in most FTP programs is to right-click on the file, and select Properties, CHMOD or FTP Commands > CHMOD, and then either type in the number or check certain boxes.

What is my absolute path?
What your absolute path is depends on your server. On most cPanel servers, your absolute path will look something like this:
/home/username/public_html/
where you replace “username” with the username you use to login to cPanel. On some cPanel servers, you can see what your absolute path is when you login to cPanel, in a sidebar or Stats section.
On servers with other control panels this can be slightly different. If you’re not sure what your absolute path is, check the FAQ at your host’s website. Chances are it’s detailed there. If you can’t find it there, send your host an email and ask them about it, they’ll be able to tell you what your absolute path is.
