Wealthy Affiliate Not Recognized By Statcounter?

While I still am figuring out Google analytics and why the stats there are different from Google Webmaster tools, I am using the noob-friendly Statcounter.

I wanted to know where my visitors come from, and in the projects page I can see a breakdown of sites and search engines that referred the traffic to my site, The Healthy Opinion.

I was surprised that out of 110 total visits yesterday, 60 of them have "no referring link". And that I didn't see Wealthy Affiliate in the referring lists at all.

I decided to do a random and quick experiment. So I cleared my statcounter stats and reset everything to zero, then had my friend from Winnipeg click my website link from my WA profile page.

Her visit came up, with her IP address, location, and internet service provider a match, but no Wealthy Affiliate seen, and it's listed under "no referring link".

I wonder why?
