URLs denoting the portals or Web sites through which another site is reached.

Sites that send visitors to your site through a link/banner ad.

Your own web site also shows up as a referrer. See Proxy Hosts.

Website tracking statistics, better than just raw numbers, a referrer will show you which site referred the visitor to your site, what operating system they were using, often what country they came from, and what key word from what search engine brought them to you.
