Facebook Referrals
Awesome, something went viral. Now to check what it was and where the visits came from.
That's where it got odd.
According to Google, the traffic was going to a 2 year old page on my site, 95% of the visitors were coming from the US, and visiting 2.5 per visit and were being referred to my site via 2 spots. A url that is not mine and Facebook.
The url is not my domain, but when I went to check it out, it was directed to the page (on my site) I had gotten all the visitors from. I did try to dig in further to Facebook, but couldn't figure out who or where within Facebook my site was getting referred.
Here are my questions:
1. Why would someone buy a new domain and redirect it to someone else's? Are they trying to build up juice to it and sometime in the future they'll redirect back to their own content?
2. Is there a way to do advanced searches in Facebook? I'd love to know where the traffic was coming from (page, group, individual). I know it wasn't a post share, since nothing showed up in my Facebook analytics.
Don't get me wrong, I love the extra traffic...I just want to find out how/why it was coming from.
