The referrer tab offers you an insight into where your readers are coming from when they visit your publications, the main information we capture is:
- Referrer Host: The hostname / domain of the referrer, referring visits to your publication. As you can see in the screenshot below we have referrals from Google.com, Yahoo.com & search.yahoo.com
- Referrer URL: The direct URL that has referred visitors to your publication and the percentage of visitors from that URL.
Note: Often times you will see a certain percentage of your readers are listed under "None / Unknown" referrer. This means that they weren't at a specific URL before getting to your publication. They may have opened the link from their email application, been given it by a friend on an IM service such as Skype, or entered it directly into their address bar.
