No Referring Link

I get lots of hits from 'No Referring Link' sources.

Is there anyway to find out what these sources are?

A lot of the time this is when people type in the domain name direct into google. With all the phlishing sites that are about people are scared of links in emails so if you have an autoresponder set up this could be a big part of it.

kind regards

Short answer, not really. If you're feeling adventurous you could peruse through your server logs. Occasionally I'll discover some answers there that weren't showing up in Google Analytics. Generally though it either means that those people's browsers aren't reporting referrers, they are clicking the link somewhere other than a website (email client, etc), or they are simply typing or pasting in the URL. There's no way to tell which it is.
