Subject: Tracking Referring Sites in report
Hi All,
I am trying to track a page which can be hit from two or more
different Pages which means it is being referred from more than one
web page. I am able to see reports but when I try to access the report
for Referring Sites I see no results for this page.

Suppose http://www.mysite.com/page.htm is my page I want to track and
http://www.externalsite.com/page.htm and http://www.referringsite.com/page.htm
are the referring sites. I want to see these referring sites URL in my
report.

But I am not able to see the referring sites in my report.

My question is:
1. Is there any setting which I need to do to get those referring
sites tracked?
2.Does it show each referring URL to a page in report?

Thanks.

To see the sources that sent traffic to that page, you need to cross-
segment by Source. Alternatively you can go to Traffic Sources ->
Referring Sites, and cross-segment that site by Landing Page.

that doesn't help, unfortunately. there is no way to see the full url
of the referring site. google analytics don't have that functionality
by default. this is still pain in the neck.

Using the Visitors-->User Defined field, you can pull a lot more info
than what you think.

Create a new filter named: Full Referrer Path

Filter Type: Custom Filter
-Advanced
Field A-> Referral  (.*)
Field B-> (leave blank)
Output to Constructor-> User Defined   $A1

Field A required- Yes
Field B required- No
Overridde output field- Yes
Case sensitive- no

Now when you click onto the USer Defined report, you can see the
entire referring path. If you look at any given page, segment by User
Defined and you'll get the full path.
