    Hi all

    Is there a way to know the exact full referral path in Google Analytics?
    Analytics tell the site name from where the referral came but not the full path with all parameters..

    Some methods are given on some websites which recommends using advance filters but those techniques does not work...

    In Traffic Sources > Referring Sites, click the domain name, and it gives you the referral path

    Yes it does. When you are at the stage where you can read the domain name, click to dive down to the next dimension.

    Suppose we got a referral from linkedin.com to our site and the originating URL is

    http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=xxxxx&trk=tab_pro

    In Google analytics it will only show http://www.linkedin.com/profile or http://www.linkedin.com as the referral URL ( however deep you go )
    The whole internet is filled with people trying to find solution to this problem..

    Check one of the site which is telling a trick : http://trungso.com/blog-google/get-full-url-referrals-and-organic-sources-google-analytics.html
    However it does not work and this is why this question was asked on this forum hoping someone might know the correct working method

    Since many of you are telling that it does, I am wondering if there is some difference in the tracking code you people are using?
    Why its not showing the path in my case????
