Hello friends,

What is Google referral?

Referral traffic is Google's method of reporting visits that came to your site from sources outside of its search engine. When someone clicks on a hyperlink to go to a new page on a different website, Analytics tracks the click as a referral visit to the second site.

Google referral traffic is any other way that visitors can use Google to find your website, without going through the search engine, Google+, or YouTube. As it turns out, that wasn't so hard to define after all.
