Traffic Sources: a table of referring websites and apps with their type, number of clicks and percentage

Traffic Sources shows where your visitors come from: the online stores, websites and apps that showed your ads and sent shoppers to your store. Many ad platforms keep this hidden; Adeagle shows it.

Choose what you look at

  • Campaigns (top left) — all campaigns, or one.
  • Date range (top right) — the last 30 days by default.

The table

Each row is one source of clicks:

  • Referrer — the website or app. Websites are links, so you can open them and see where your ads appeared. The name is the main domain; the click may have happened on any page of that site.
  • Type — Website for websites and online stores, App for mobile apps, and Websites and Apps for the Other row.
  • Number of Clicks — clicks from that source in the selected period.
  • Percentage — that source’s share of all your clicks.

Other collects the clicks whose source does not say where it is. Not every page or app shares its address when it sends a visitor, so a part of every store’s traffic lands here.

How to use it

  • Check the fit. If the top sources are about what you sell — fashion blogs for a clothing store, cooking sites for kitchenware — your campaign categories and interests are right.
  • Look for patterns. Many clicks from apps? Your products work well on mobile; check that your store’s mobile pages are fast.
  • Compare campaigns. Pick one campaign at a time to see if each one reaches the audience you meant it for.

Where to go next

  • See which products those visitors clicked in Click Analytics.
  • Change the categories, interests or countries of a campaign in Campaigns.

Questions

Not every website or app tells your store where a visitor came from. Those clicks are still real and counted; they are grouped as Other because their source is not shared.
