    I think organic is just straight from the search pages, while a referral may be from the "current page" link in the cached view or something like that. Just my guess.

    Organic search engine listings are the main results users see when they do a Google search. The websites appearing in the organic listings appear because those sites are most relevant to the user’s keywords. Indeed, most of these sites appear in the top of the search engine results because the webmasters of these sites have used SEO tactics to ensure top rankings.

    Referral can be organic or paid.

    I am not concerned with any answer.....As far as I have concerned...
    Google organic visits are the visits which are coming through search engine result page means via search.
    In many sites you will find a search box to do a search for whatever your are looking for. Just notice that in most of the sites you will find a line as "powered by Google search". The visits coming from those search results are considered as Google referral visits.

    In Google Analytics organic traffic denotes the traffic for a specific keyword from the search engines.
    Referral Traffic denotes the traffic from back linked sites like Social Media, Forum, Blog etc.

    organic traffic refer to traffic from the search engine, referral denote traffic from the other site. like twitter, face book etc, organic comes when site is ranking on various keyword. if site does not have any rank the visitor will not come from search engine.
