Metrics:  Traffic  Sources    

•  Direct:  Direct  traffic  is  defined  as  URLs  that  people  either  type  in  directly  or  reach  via  their  browser  bookmarks.  Direct  traffic  visitors  are  one  of  the  most  important  types  of  visitor  your  website  can  get.  

•  Referrals:  Referral  traffic  is  used  to  describe  visitors  to  your  site  that  come  from  direct  links  to  other  websites  rather  than  directly  or  from  searches.  Referral  traffic  increases  the  page  ranking  of  your  website,  which  boosts  it  in  Google  search  results.    

•  Search:  Search  engine  traffic  refers  to  the  visitors  who  arrive  on  your  site  by  clicking  search  results  leading  to  it.  

•  Social:  Brings  new  visitors  to  your  website  through  social  media  sites.  •  Mail:  Shows  how  well  you  promote  your  products  and  services  by  ac+vely  using  

your  customers’  emails.  •  Display:  Display  traffic  typically  refers  to  traffic  generated  from  banner  or  flash  ads  

from  other  sites.
