Incorrect gif image in tracking code

I am using asynchronous tracking code, which has following line in noscript tag

img alt="Clicky" width="1" height="1" src="//in.getclicky.com/66425236ns.gif"

I guess the gif image called in the above code is incorrect. There should be http: prefix. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Same problem here ...

Actually, both these two links also look wrong - the "http" part is also missing:

src="//static.getclicky.com/media/links/badge.gif" border="0"

script src="//static.getclicky.com/js" type="text/javascript"

PS: had to remove some HTML to get this to post...

It's valid code. It's called "protocol relative" and allows your browser to fetch the resource via HTTP or HTTPS, depending on the context of the page being viewed.

hmmm.. thanks for update. Actually, I got an error in a load time analyzer that the URL is invalid and "the file not found".

Also, I am wondering what the p and /p tags are doing around the 1x1 pixel image...

Machines are dumb :) Craigslist "validation" code also refuses to accept it.

But all browsers know what to do with it and that's all that matters. It's been in the spec for over 10 years.

It seems to my that the point of this image is not technical but spammy from clicky to attempt to generate a backlink to their site and increase their SEO results.

There's two images. One is for tracking sites where javascript isn't allowed. The other is a banklink, yes, and it can be removed no problem.
