What is the "other" group in traffic to your site on the moz analytics dashboard ?

"Not provided" is in search - organic search history so it's not that.

Hi,

Not provided from Google is the "other" category in Moz analytics

Moz Q Source

Hope this helps!

That was my first thought as well, but the data doesn't support it.

• Dashboard --> Traffic to your site : 9 from other
• Search --> Traffic from search : 6 from (not provided)

Even if 6 out of 9 are from not provided, that doesn't explain where the other 3 visits come from.
Might be that the other 3 are from links in mails or newsletters, how are those displayed in Moz Analytics ?

This is a great question. Recently Google started hiding the traffic details from everyone, which is why you see "not provided" in the details. Everyone was affected by this, and we are trying to work with them to get this data type back. Rand talks about this in detail here: http://moz.com/blog/100-percent-keyword-not-provided-whiteboard-tuesday and Ruth touches on this as well  here: http://moz.com/blog/what-is-seo-now. I hope this helps shed some light on what you are seeing here. I know this is odd and not extremely valuable information now, but we are always working on improving this process and are very open to suggestions and feedback just like this.
