Traffic source question

Hello.

I have noticed that I am getting a lot of traffic from a variety of sources in the last few weeks or so based on my Bonanza stat’s page.

For two of the traffic sources, I am not sure what they mean.

One says Other and the second one says Other Search. They both sound like they would mean the same thing, so not sure why they are not just grouped together as one.

Like said though, I do not know what Other means though. I would say social but Bonanza already has social listed as a traffic source.

Thanks to anyone who can help me understand. I’m really curious to find out.

Other could represent another social media channel (such as Vimeo (video) Possibly or an addition forum thread.

Other Search sounds to me like possibly another search engine (AOL,Yahoo, Go Duck Go etc.)

We use other stats thru our website, that breaks down all traffic. Coming and going.

Maylbe this helps or Maybe it doesn’t LOL. Have a great morning

Thanks for giving me these ideas. I was stuck on Google organic and Bing and the regular social media and the forums on Bonanza, in which the forums here are direct I’m pretty sure. Never thought about another forum where I do have a link to my booth. Thanks for the help.

other could also be affiliate widgets..I actually have a widget on an old blog, that I came across…totally forgot about..

I did not do any widget but I really think you are right in that it could come from this. Maybe someone even put me in a widget of theirs at some point.

I meant to say even though I have not done one, I want to some time soon on my own blog.
