• How to Find Out The Real Referring URL – Google Analytics

  Date: 2010.02.08 | Category: Google Analytics, Google Analytics Hacks | Response: 13

  There is nothing more frustrating than trying to work out which page of a site is the one  actually referring to yours.  Google Analytics tells us the name of the domain, but not the exact referring URL.  There is a filter that can be used to give you what you need.

  Field B -> Extract B – (Leave Blank)

  Output To -> Constructor – User Defined $A1

  See image to help.

  To view, go to visitor reports and select ‘user-defined’
