    Hi. My site https://www.otwaysaccommodation.com.au is an accommodation website for the Otway Ranges in Victoria, Australia.
    I know it is still sending referrals to businesses which advertise on the site but for some reason these referrals are not being recorded in their traffic acquisition referrals.

    Hey Mark,
    Most browsers block cookies and scripts by default now with either built-in settings or with AD blockers, so you may not get your referrals correctly.
    One way around this would be to ask your advertisers to create a custom page for you to link to with a unique URL even if it was just a copy of their home page so any traffic going to this URL could give you credit.
    Another possibly is to use the plugin Track The Click which will track clicks as they occur on a WordPress website in real time. PrettyLinks is another plugin that will track the links on your site by creating custom out bound URLs and tracking each time they are clicked.
    With these plugins you can offer your advertisers reports for the traffic that you are sending them.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have numerous accommodation websites with the same businesses on all of them.

    Referrals are being tracked no problem from all of them except http://www.otwaysaccommodation.com.au

    This seems to suggest that it’s not a browser or cookie problem???

    The problem must be with the Otways site. I’ve paid for advanced support from my server but they couldn’t find the problem.

    I’m lost.

    Mark.
