Why is it important to know what my referring sites are?
Knowing where your traffic is coming from is an easy way to increase your return on investment (ROI). You can focus more resources on sites that are referring more traffic, or re-evaluate your campaigns on sites that are not driving much traffic.
Why are other consultant websites or websites that I don’t advertise with listed as my referring sites? These statistics are not 100% accurate and it can never be. This could happen due to many reasons. For an example, cookies placed on someone’s web browser or a web crawler who is going from one site to another could make a website look like a referring site.
