Google Analytics Referrers

[mneylon]

This might be a really simple query, but it's not obvious to me ..

In GA I can see a list of referring sites.

So I see X number of clicks from Facebook, Y from Google etc.,

How can I see which exact URL is the referrer?

For example I can see Hootsuite with a value of "/dashboard", which is totally useless

Just drill down another level?

Traffic sources > Referring Sites > click on a site

Or set up a custom report using the Referral Path dimension

it doesn't give the exact URLs

Which is the problem

I'd need the parameters passed to the URL for them to be meaningful

Or set up a custom report using the Referral Path dimension

Any idea how?

Ooops, sorry, didn't read your OP properly

This is a couple of years old, but might still work. Best I've found so far on google:
Google Analytics Hack – obtaining full referring URL


[edit] Looks like it stil works, but only on referrals after the filter has been implemented

By complete coincidence, just came across the same method, along with some other stuff that might be useful, in an article linked to in today's SEOMoz post.
