Why can't I see Outgoing Traffic for Social networks?
Outgoing Traffic is the equivalent of Incoming Traffic (Referrals) except going in the opposite direction. We exclude Social traffic from the Incoming Traffic because they’re attributed to the Social channel. Likewise, Social traffic is not included in the Outgoing Traffic section either - meaning that we don’t show any Outgoing Traffic for Social Networks.
Why do I see an increase in percent change, but a decrease in traffic share in the Outgoing traffic share over time graph?
The change in traffic metric measures the percent change in volume of traffic, not the change in traffic share. However, the Outgoing traffic share over time graph shows the monthly traffic share.
Therefore, it is possible that the volume of traffic sent to a site increased, but this did not represent an increase in traffic share to the site. In this case, the percent change in traffic would show a increase, but the traffic share over time graph would show a decrease.
