Change: Percentage change in traffic share from the last month of the analyzed time period to the previous month.
Why do I see non-social sites when analyzing social traffic sources?
Non-social websites can appear in the Social Overview section. This is due to indirect social referrals.
This can occur for a number of reasons:
-
Comments widgets of a certain social network that are incorporated in a regular domain.
-
Social news feed incorporated in a regular domain.
-
API integration: Most social networks offer a way of integrating some of their features through an API in non-social networks.
-
Social links in emails: A lot of your social traffic actually comes from links placed in emails, either through content or through social widgets integrated inside email platforms (this explains why Gmail sometimes appears in this section).
