What is referral traffic?
Referral traffic is Google's method of reporting visits that came to your site from sources outside of its search engine. When someone clicks on a hyperlink to go to a new page on a different website, Analytics tracks the click as a referral visit to the second site.
Hi
Referral traffic is traffic that's been driven into your site through links present in other websites rather than search links. Generally it happens when another website includes links to your website on theirs to recommend you to their visitors. This type of traffic can boost your page rank. The backlinks that you create on guest posts and pay-per-click advertisements are how you can direct referral traffic back to your website yourself.
Hope this helped.
Referral traffic would be visits to a website by users who have clicked on a banner that is linked to the website, or on a link appearing in a blog.
