How to Track ByHand Referrals In Google Analytics 1 Year, 5 Months ago Karma: 37  
 
Byhand referrals may not be completely accurate if you are relying on just the "Traffic Sources, Referring Sites" data. Here's why:
When you view our site in encrypted mode (https in the URL) your browser doesn't pass along the referring site name. This of course will never register with google analytics unfortunately.

However, there is a more accurate way to figure out what traffic you may be getting from our Spotlights, Handmade Search, and Wishlists features. You setup a custom Advanced Segment.

For information about how to setup and use a segment, you can watch this simple video and it will explain how to setup and use a segment in your reports. In the video, Etsy is used as an example with their ref= syntax. Well, we just expanded on this, and have been providing this ref= code for ALL sites. So you can use this for your ArtFire report, or any other site you sell on that has Google Analytics available. Just use ref=byhand and that is us.
