I have a question/clarification in regards to the Referrer ID on each order.

How can I get a report that shows me the top/how many times that Referrer has sent us traffic?

Also what does it mean when it's blank? How could it be blank as they have to come from some where. The only thing I could think of is direct traffic.

I have the requirements to try to track 100% of our orders and where they come from. What are some options/software you everyone uses to accomplish this?

I use Analytics, but it still misses some stuff. I believe the lost transactions maybe Google Checkout and PayPal.

Let's pretend my total sells of the month were the $7. Google is only showing $5 total.

Thoughts on that?

Anyone else have any other tracking programs?

Looking for a very powerful tool that can give us exact numbers.

We want to maximize our advertising dollars. Right now obviously adwords doesn't catch every sell due to lost cookies.

What methods does everyone here use?

Hi Robbie,

We noticed that sales payed through paypal were not picked up by google analytics. Any ideas on how to rectify this?
