“Sites” report

This report contains information about the resources that users click-through to your site from.

To view the report: Reports → Standard reports → Sources → Sites.

An example of this report is available for the Yandex Metrica demo tag.

Yandex Metrica uses a referrer to identify this source.

How to Change or specify sources

If you want to use your own referrer, add the utm_referrer parameter to the link that you place on another site. Then the “Sites” report will display the parameter value as the traffic source.

To define a traffic source, add the following link to your UTM tag: utm_medium=referral.
