We reduce the noise by only looking at 404s with referrers.


That will cause you to miss some behavior if internal URLs ever change that users bookmarked or remember.

As an example, a TV station site I follow had a /fullepisodes/ basename page which wasn't updating in sync with their show pages, apparently pulling from a different data store. After about six months of declining updates to that page, they eventually re-vamped it with a more-correct data source. I like to think it happened because I and others kept browsing directly to the easily memorable URL
