Referrer Grouping

The Referrer Grouping option allows you to group the traffic from multiple referrers into a single Referrer Group. This option is useful for grouping the traffic from major search engines into recognizable names. For example, if someone found your site in the AltaVista search engine, you could use the Referrer Grouping option to display "AltaVista" instead of "digital.com". By default NetTracker is configured to group traffic from eleven major search engines.

To add a Referrer Group click the Add button. To change the name of a Referrer Group highlight the Referrer Group in the list box and then click the Edit button. Then make the desired changes and click on the Save Options button. To delete a Referrer Group highlight the Referrer Group in the list box and then click the Delete button.

To add referrers to a Referrer Group, highlight the Referrer Group in the list box and click on the Members button. To add members to the Referrer Group click the Add button. Then select from the list boxes to create the request: Group referrers "[That contain]", enter the referrer in the next text box (e.g.: "altavista.") and click on the Add button. Note that in the above example users can also use this option to request that NetTracker group referrers "[That match], [That start with] or [That end with]" a referrer.

To delete a referrer from a Referrer Group, highlight the referrer in the list box and click on the Delete button. To edit a referrer in a Referrer Group, highlight the referrer in the list box and click on the Edit button.
