Referrer URL

The Referrer URL is the address of the webpage where the visitor came from. It is based on HTTP header "Referrer"

The reasons why a Referrer URL could be blank

  • The website (where the offer creative is shown) is accessed from a HTTP Secure connection and the Tracking URL uses a non-secure connection.
  • The Visitor has turned off the referrer option in his browser settings (some browsers support this).
  • The Visitor used a Proxy server where it was configured to remove referrer headers.
  • The Visitor typed/pasted Tracking URL directly to the browser's path field.
  • The Visitor uses E-mail client software (not web based) and clicked the creative link within this program.
  • The Visitor manually removed or replaced HTTP Referrer header.

EFFECTUS

The Referrer info could be found either on Reports -> Transactions page, column "Referrer URL" or Reports -> General, at the popup when you click on Clicks/Sales/Leads number
