      In the past month I have seen a huge increase in the visits + conversions from Facebook (which is obviously great).  However, from Google Analytics it appears that most of my visits are not coming from my brand page.

      Is there an explanation of what these referral paths mean?

      Top Facebook referral paths:

      /

      /l.php

      /home.php

      /ajax/emu/end.php

      /brand - much less visits than above URLs

        • I have two Facebook Pages connected to the same website. Is there a way to tell in Google Analytics which Facebook Page is responsible for what referral traffic?
