Cyclic Referers

Have you also noticed "cyclic" referers in the stats of your blog? When the current page URL is also the referer? In other words: someone is visiting a blog page and then follows a link leading to the same page.

That is what I notice in referer logs, and there's quite many of them. You may not always notice this even if this takes place - a blog engine may hide referers coming from the same site.

Why would someone do that? What does she want to see by following the same link? If you happen to follow a link from a blog page to the same page again, please leave a comment and tell how to improve the user experience.

P.S. Another possibility - this happens when someone comments on a blog post. No reason why it should be so, but still there's a slim possibility.
