Navigating analytics can be painful. This explains how to see what people are linking to your site using google’s new free service.


When setting up a new site with google analytics, the most frequent question I get is this:

How can I see who is linking to me?

The information is there; it’s just hidden away.

How to see the Full Referrer Path:

    1. Log-in to Analytics
    2. Click Marketing Optimization
    3. Click Marketing Campaign Results
    4. Click Referral Conversion
    5. You probably want to increase your display amount
    6. Click the + beside each site to see the pages within that site are linking to you.

Sadly, they do not provide you an easy link to click to view the referring site…

    The Google Analytics interface has changed and the link “Marketing Optimization” is no longer there. FYI.
