Top Referrers is users who have shared links in the form

`https://meta.discourse.org/t/top-referred-topics-last-30-days/27841?u=codinghorror`

(that’s the URL you get when you click the timestamp or the link button your post, above, except your username is in it.)

There is a lot of data here, and some cool queries could be done with it. But that’s more for the other, “add more analytics queries”, topic.

Yes - take this sequence of events

- someone clicks on share link, copies URL with name
- they paste link in Skype chat
- 2 people visit

That person now has 2 anonymous referrals to that topic.

“Top Referrers” will _only_ show websites, which won’t show up for referrals from chat programs.
