Using Source / Media to discover where traffic is coming from.

Search by “Source/Medium”

“Source: the origin of your traffic, such as a search engine (for example, google) or a domain (example.com). Medium: the general category of the source, for example, organic search (organic), cost-per-click paid search (cpc), web referral (referral).” –Google Analytics

Filter by Off-Campus Traffic

The UWRF Web Team creates various views to access information about traffic. On-campus traffic and off-campus traffic are two notable views. Looking at off-campus traffic is useful for identifying a concentration of visitors who may be prospective students and alumni.

To choose the off-campus traffic view:

Choose Home in the upper left corner
Expand the www.uwrf.edu folder
Choose UWRF (No 139.225)

139.255 is the prefix for campus IP addresses. People who visited pages while on the campus network will be excluded from this view. Conversely choosing the "UWRF (Only 139.255)" view provides on-campus traffic information.
