gemiusTraffic - FAQ

When is a Referrer unavailable?

The Referrer is measured for the first Page View of a Visit. Referrers are unavailable if:

• The URL was entered directly into the Internet browser's address bar,
• The Visit was started by selecting a shortcut from the "Favorites" menu in the Internet browser,
• The Internet user clicked on a link in an e-mail message in an e-Mail application (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Netscape Navigator). This does not happen for web-based e-mail programs (e.g. Yahoo Mail, HotMail, etc.).
• The user clicked on a link in an offline document e.g. MS Word file, Adobe PDF, etc.
• The user clicked on a link in a Java applet,
• The Visit Start Page is built using FRAMEs and the FRAME page is on a different domain than the page defining the FRAMESET.
