Dynamic Yield enables you to target users and build audiences based on traffic sources. The traffic source your users come from can imply a great deal about their intent, so it can be a good starting point both for personalizing your site and for breaking down A/B test results.
Traffic sources types
- Direct: Visitors who arrived directly to your website by either typing in the URL or arriving from a browser bookmark or email. These users have no referring website information.
- Search: Visitors arriving from a search engine. View the full list below.
- Paid Search: Visitors arriving from Google SEM campaign. Their referring domain is “googleadservices”, and the first pageview in the session contains the URL parameter ״gclid״ or ״gclsrc״.
- Social: Visitors arriving from any of the large social networks. View the full list below.
- Referral: Visitors who’ve been referred to your website from any other third-party site, that is not in our search engines or social network lists, and is not paid search.
Note: All traffic sources use the referring domain as a parameter. You can view the referring URL (the previous URL) of a session by typing "document.referrer" in the console of your browser (in most browsers it is located under the developer tools).
