Google Referrer not working correctly

Hello, On the referrer pane, google does not show the correct number of hits, and I am assuming it does not show the correct number of sources. I say this because I just check my google analytics and it says my number of visits from google are 7236 for the last month (not hits). Mint says I have 19 sources and 32 hits from google for this last 5 week period. I have put in my preferences to not show the following references: images.google.com images.google.ca images.google.uk images.google.lk bloglines.com usnvstnkt002 What am I doing wrong? How can I get mint to show the correct number? Thanks for the help

Analytics is probably including search referrers which the Referrer pane does not (since search referrers are displayed by the Searches pane).

Thank you for the fast reply. Does bing do something different? I get am getting a large reading of hits from bing and very small number from other search engines on the referrer pane. I notice in the searches pane, I have Most common keywords and found keywords, and most recent. Is the searches pane supposed to tell me what proportion of search referrals I am getting from each engine? Is there a pepper that does that?

If you haven’t updated to the latest Default Pepper Mint won’t know that Bing is a search engine.

Thanks
