    Guys,

    Just wondering if what im saying is right, i have recently seen a raise in my Google analytics other traffic source. Am i right in saying thats its related to email marketing? People clicking links on emails.

    Also seen a massive raise in Direct Traffic =/

    :confused:

    Could be from an unidentified Bot. Google usually pretty good at ruling that out though. Any other thoughts?

    this should show as direct (no-referrer) traffic unless it is a web mail

    Its so simple - Other Traffic means which are coming from utm enabled campaigns whether it will be email or twitter or banner. in short if you'll use utm tags for tracking campaign(banner, or emails) to url which are linking to website.. when visitor will visit your site that utm enabled campaign then that visit will count as Other Traffic...

    Let me know still if you have any query,
