Get visitors from any traffic source

When a visitor comes to your website, it’s useful to know where they came from. In the most common case, a user clicks a link and is redirected to your website — that referring website is identified as a traffic source.

In this article we cover how to use FeelingSurf Premium to send traffic to a website with any traffic source you choose.

Prerequisites

• Traffic source customisation is part of our paid tier — upgrade your account before proceeding.
• You need at least one website added to your account to send traffic to.

Add a custom traffic source

From your websites list, click Manage > Your traffic sources. The list is empty by default — click Add a traffic source, provide the address and name of your source, and click Save changes. Your traffic source is now added to FeelingSurf.

Configure your website to use your traffic source

Go back to Your websites from the left menu. Find the website you want and click Direct visits under the Traffic sources column. A window opens where you can select one or more sources — your custom sources appear under Your traffic sources. Click one to enable it.

You can disable direct visits by clicking the cross. Close the window and the website now shows your traffic source.

You can add up to 1,000 traffic sources per account, and enable up to 10 per website. If several sources are enabled for a website, one is picked at random for each visit.

Final notes

We’ve seen how to send traffic to any of your websites with the traffic sources of your choice. Now it’s up to you — add your own traffic sources and let the traffic come!
