There are some however where I see the .tco referral, but it depends on who it's tweeted out by (for whatever reason).

Yes, it is most likely:

  • Typed in URL directly
  • Used a bookmark
  • Used an email link or RSS link that had no tracking code

Though there can be a long list of other reasons that the referring URL isn't passed.

I have a vague idea what direct traffic is but could someone clarify it from me?
