What is Referral Traffic?
Referral traffic consists of visitors who arrive at your website by clicking a link on another site, such as a blog mention, partner website, directory listing, or social media platform. It's one of the key traffic source categories in Google Analytics.
Why Referral Traffic Matters
Referral traffic indicates external validation, other sites are linking to you because your content is valuable. It also contributes to SEO through backlinks. High-quality referral sources (industry publications, partner sites) tend to send visitors with strong conversion intent.
