Google Doesn't Play Well With Google

It seems like Googles own software is borking up...

I use Google Analytics to monitor traffic (what traffic?) on both this blog and the Google Code page. The Code-part gets a multiple amount of hits compared to this blog, according to Analytics. But, when I see a unknown source (i.e. something I personally haven't set up) linking to it, it's aways a site linking to either Google Code in general, or some entirely different project within Google Code.

Sure, I understand that it's a bit of a hack to provide Analytics codes for something like Google Code. But you'd think that those guys making over $100k a year would get it right. The weird thing is that I'm getting just isolated hits from these stray links, it's just single hit counts, like one or two per source.

Well, paraphrasing a would-be employer "you only need to finish a project 95%, the rest 5% is just inefficient polish" - well, I guess these stray hits are in the inefficient segment...
