Where can I find the root of this referrals?
So, I am getting traffic from some places and I can't find the oroginal lost or something looking and digging through GA, For example for:
There's no way to find the where exactly has the link been posted, and this links are taking to a general page.
EDIT: I need to find put because tje traffic is already up tp ~900...
Any idea ?
Thank you so much.
You can make your own logging of visits directly on server where you are hosting your site. I would give you the code but you're developer so research around $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; , $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; , $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; etc and output it into text file, check occasionally or send to email every X hours.
This will not work or give you out more information than Google has.
YT/Google is always setting the referrer to the root domain that you can't trace back where its coming from the referrer.
He have many other sites on the list above, most of them are not blocking specific stats.
Ah if he wants to see them there aswell yes :)
I also provide those detailed information on splitbee.io (my analytics platform I'm building)
oh the others, I normally find the root actually.
Oh ok, I am not si advanced, but I will figure it out with the code you provided.
Thank you so much, really kind. I am going to see what I can do.
I've uploaded one small script, very basic but it will give you some pointers (or even full solution, as is for me since I don't need full stats for many projects).

Setup info is inside, in text file. Check it.
Thank you for the file, that was really nice.
I am not using PHP, on the site, wonder if works in other way?
Not really, sorry, at least not safely. You could play with javascript / ajax to include the php file but this is bad idea for many reasons and I wouldn't recommend it. I didn't play a lot with other ways, this works for me and when something works I don't tend to change it :)
Ahh ok, I will definately save the you gave me though.
Thank you for the effort I appreciate that very much. If there's anything I can do for you let me know, and I will try.
Ohh, ok. Thanks a lot @tobiaslins
Hi Michael,
Sadly Google removes the direct path from the referrer and just gives you the source URL.
