Weird Referer from Tracking

[globit]

Hey guys,

i am using a regional traffic source and I keep getting this referer location in my tracking platform: file:///Applications/Install/907BF5F2-A2B7-4654-9BD5-DD2A65B649A2

Does anyone know what type of traffic this is?

You try googling?

Looks like a mobile windows app referral. Candy Hero Story | Store Applications+Jeux Windows Phone (Belgique)
windowsphone.com/fr-be/store/app/candy-hero-story/907bf5f2-a2b7-4654-9bd5-dd2a65b649a2

Thanks for your traffic source.

If I say that I am using a regional traffic source and I am getting a REFERER with location: XXXX
that doesn't tell you my traffic source; that just tells you where an impression came from. I think you're a little confused.


Thanks for helping me find what it was.

welcome..,,

I'm not confused about referrals and traffic sources.. Why would people cloak referrals data??? maybe to hide their traffic sources?

So I may have went over board about traffic source.
but in this case, people can now target that game/app as a source of traffic, If any.
