Total views vs referrers

JRSabater

I am very happy, in my stattistics I see in the last month totaling 5.930 views but .... only 95 in referrers. Is it right? Where does this traffic?

Does anyone know how I can know from which such views?

Thanks

I can't see exactly what you're looking at, but some page views might come with no referrer just because it got dropped along the way or there was no referrer (via a bookmark or typing something into the browser or copy/paste into the browser or a link from a non-browser (like a non-web email client). Some page views come from other pages within your own site and many page views may come from the same referrer site (e.g. a link somewhere on the web). So, it's logical to have way fewer referrers than actual hits.

It's actually good to have a low percentage of referrers. That means more people went straight to your site.

Can you explain - I don't understand what you mean.

Like when someone types in my main site url, www.huntsvillecarscene.com, there's no referer. But when someone clicks on a google link to get to my site, or the one in my profile here on dgrin, or somewhere else on the Internet, I'll see a referral link. It's better if people are directly typing my url. That shows that they know my site url and were coming specifically to see me.

Ok.
