Put any referrer list on any page

As you probably know, the default is that each page have its own referrer list. But now, you can use a certain referrer list on all/some of your pages.

Use this feature when you want to make the list on your home page visible on another page. Or if you want to use a list from another web site on your web site.

All you need to do is to find the Page ID of your home page (or another page) and put it in your JavaScript code. The Page ID can be found in the Referer.org Live Report.

This feature can also be handy when testing out Referer.org or when designing your referrer list. It's also possible to have an empty list on your home page and instead show the list on your "partners"-page.

Read more about this feature in the Referer.org FAQ.

Zebra stripe your lists using CSS

Every list item now has a new CSS class called 'referer_odd' or 'referer_even'. You can use these classes to zebra stripe your lists. We've updated our list on the Referer.org front page to make use of these classes. Have a look!

We've also noticed that a lot of the referrer lists are not using the power of CSS. With CSS you can make your list look beautiful! We're now planning to add new section to Referer.org, containing different designs/templates that you can use with your lists. If you've come up with a design, please send us a link to a page containing your list - and we will probably add it to our new template section.

New feature: Display by date

It is now possible to sort the referrer list. The default sort is based on hit frequency. Now there is a new option, to sort by date. This will display the newest referrers at the top of the list. It is also possible to sort the list descending.

All new features are covered in the Referer.org FAQ.

XHTML-compliant lists

The referrer lists provided by Referer.org are now XHTML-compliant! If you want to use the new improved lists you will have to update your code. The new code can be found at Referer.org.

The FAQ has been updated to reflect the changes. Take a moment and find out how easy it is to customize the apperence of your referrer list using CSS and JavaScript

Note: The old Referer.org code is deprecated. It will continue to work, but is not supported.

Improved loading times

Loading time of all referrer lists have been greatly improved. The average time to generate a referrer list is now down to 0.005 seconds! This applies to all users and all referrer lists.

For those of you who can, we ask that you make a monetary contribution in whatever denomination you'd like. Every little bit counts.

Web site thumbnails are being updated

Some users might have noticed that the tumbnails in the expanded referrer lists and in the RSS feeds have been gone for a few days. The reason for this is that Alexa, the previous provider of thumbnails, have modified their service. We therefore have now started creating our own thumbnails, but it might take a while for them to show. Please be patient.

To find a list with your referrers, use the Live Report located at the Referer.org web site.
