Question About Google Analytics

On the google analytics where you can see the pie where your traffic is coming from, I have a very small yellow piece that is marked as "other".

What is considered "other" traffic?

 

i only see
# Referring Sites
# Search Engines
# Direct Traffic
on mine

 

Ditto here too, search, referring and direct.

 

Other is where Google has been unable to classify the traffic correctly. This could be due to a number of factors including not being able to identify ip subnets correctly or having a garbled response in parameters that are returned to their server.

 

this is te same case with me

 

That's probably the government snooping in on you

 

It really depends. Some of my "other traffic source" is from twitter feeds. You can trace "other traffic source" by going to "traffic sources" on side navigation in Analytics. Then go to "All traffic sources". Go to the dropdown box right beside "Source/Medium" in the middle of the page (should be "none" by default). Then select "Medium"

If you sort them, anything that are not "referral", "(none)" and "organic" are your "other traffic source"

 

Google Analytics offers some great ways to learn about your customer. You may not care which type of web browser your customer uses, but you probably care where your customers live.

 

see google analytics report where you find options.
