This report displays the number of page views that the website received, categorized according to the type of the traffic source. Three different types of sources are tracked:

 

•Direct - page views gained when the URL of one of the website's pages is entered directly into the browser (no referrer was passed).

•Referring sites - page views gained through links from external websites (not including search engine result pages).

•Search engines - views generated by search engines.

 

References from the website's local pages (e.g. navigation menus) are not included in this statistic.

 

Please see the Overview topic for information about the actions available for all reports.
