I was having a look through the logs of phpFunctions and noticed a couple of oddities.
The figures are blurred for phpFunctions intentionally.
Now phpFunctions, being an AJAX application only has one page (index.php), the other 2 pages were a mystery to me. I consulted the Hostnames section:
Most peculiar. I had problems accessing 192.168.1.12 (which looks to me like an IP inside a network), but Excite indeed has a Japanese page at http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/body/ . Has anyone else had experience with weird statistics showing up like this?
I really can’t work it out. At first I guessed it was someone using a typo in their Google Analytics code, but that can’t be it because Excite wouldn’t use Google for their statistics. Any ideas?

Someone trying to use the site as an anonymous HTTP proxy?

Yes, I had recently come to a similar conclusion. I think they are using some sort of proxy which dsiaplys the same Google Analytics javascript but comes from a different server because of the proxy.
