    If I come on Digital Point from a link on another website, it would be your web traffic.

    If I search on Google for a forum and in the result page I click on the link to come the this page, this is what you call Search traffic.

    Hi Guyco,

    Thank you for the response. I am still a little confused. What would you classify the following as:

    - User does search on google for "keyword"
    - User clicks on ad that takes them to my LP
    - User then clicks on a link on my LP that takes them to the affiliate offer

    To me this is a combination of search and web. Hard to distinguish between the two. It will be purely search if the user clicks on the google ad and immediately gets directed to the affiliate offer (direct linking). Can you please clarify and/or correct me.

    Thank you,
