About half of visits to my profile in the field: "from" are described as: Direct Link/Unknown. I am wondering what does it mean - there are not too many links to my profile on the Internet so I guess that most of this visits must originate at Proz.com, but than why are they not marked as for instance Forum, Kudoz, Glossary, etc...?

You're not alone. I seem to remember 2 other threads that discussed this (and many people began to notice the same situation for their own profiles). But if memory serves me (and maybe it doesn't!), these are web crawlers, which are indexing files for search engines.

Some of them are crawlers, especially which makes hundreds of visits in total or 10 visits a day. But there are human beings who come from completely different or unknown links. Like Patricia pointed out, there has been a few forums about people getting worried about "unknown" visitors.

TOPIC STARTER SITE LOCALIZER | Some of them are crawlers | Jun 23, 2009 |
Especially those with hundreds of previous visits, but I am sure that some of them are from within Proz.com, they are just not marked as such - for example I have several glossaries with over 2000 units altogether but I never had an entry marked glossary. So most likely some of these unknown entries come from glossaries.
I think that there is simply no tracking functions for some areas of Proz what results in this direct links.
