Upon reading another time your message, I now see that you probably mean
clicking on the link about WEB HOSTING in the pages mentioned. I tried
that and in both cases an entry comes in your data base. The only
difference is that the column Αναφέρων contains "Direct link' instead of
the referrer website.

So I think the Python code is working and your problem lies somewhere
else, outside the Python world.
