Confluence 2.9 Documentation

Index

An external referrer is any site that links to your Confluence instance. Each time someone clicks on the external link, your Confluence site can record the click as a referral.

By default, external referrers for a page are listed under 'Hot Referrers' on the 'Info' screen of the page. (See Screenshot 1 below.) Confluence shows a maximum of 10 referrers. If there are more than 10, confluence shows the 10 with the highest number of hits.

Note that you do not need to enable trackback in order to have external referrers enabled.

To manage your external referrers,

  1. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

    • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  2. Select the 'Manage Referrers' option (See Screenshot 2 below.).

The following actions will be available:


Screenshot 1: Hot Referrers showing on a page's Info screen




Screenshot 2: Managing external referrers

    Is is possible to find the referrers for the main global homepage? This doesn't have an info page and I normally get the statistics from the Admin section. Thanks!
