Sometimes it is not easy to determine the source that is driving traffic to your website.
Early this morning, one of our stories was receiving more than average web traffic though the story had neither hit Digg nor was it mentioned in any of the popular blogs.
According to the referral reports in Statcounter and Google Analytics, most of the traffic was originating from web mail websites like that of Gmail and Live Hotmail (see screenshot).
I guess this article was mentioned in some popular email newsletter that was delivered to subscribers this morning. People are visiting the article after clicking the link in their emails and hence most of the the referral traffic is coming via email websites.
Very interesting. Further reading - Web Stats Review, Track Clicks in Emails
