Locating Source of Referral Traffic

[SCW]

Hey Folks,

I have discovered a Korean site is sending considerable traffic to a specific landing page on my client's cosmetic surgery site in California. I am concerned Google may deem this as spammy - I know I do.

I have been able to track the referral traffic to this point: cluster1.cafe.daum.net/c21/bbs_read which appears to be a community-based site and/or forum. However, I can not locate the exact source where the href back to my client's site resides.

Given that my Korean is not exactly up to par and Google translate only takes me so far, can any of you suggest an advanced query or method of tracking to pinpoint the source page?

Thanks!

It appears to be "touch and run" traffic. And, I can't pinpoint the exact location of the link within the cluster I mentioned above, so at this point, I can't earmark it for exclusion even if I wanted to.

I was not aware of the Naver engine.

Thank you for the insightful response!

Is it that traffic relevant to your site, or it is just a "touch and run" (aka: causing a lot of bounce rate)?

Before deleting ALL the links fearing some sort of penalization from Google, try to understand the nature and story of the link.

In fact, if it was just spammy link, it would not probably generate any traffic. Instead, that forum post is generating referral traffic, which means that is in a thread that matters to Korean people.

More over, in South Korea the most used search engine is not Google, but Naver, which works very differently from Google and some of its pages actually looks like forum pages.

So... personally I don't think that that link is a spammy one, but probably an useless one if the traffic it generates is not generating conversions (of any kind).

Thanks, SEO 5, I suppose it's worth a shot.

Try emailing the forum administrator for help. They may assist in pinpointing the source of the traffic and the exact link on the forum causing it.
