: Who is videsktop in my GA stats? I am looking at the traffic on my site via GA and there is one entry at the top of my list called "videsktop". How do I figure out who or what that is?

viDestktop is a company that sells human resources software. It would appear that there is an instance of their software that links to your site and is installed on an intranet. That software may have a host name of videsktop.example.com but because it is in-house, the users of the software can access it just by videsktop in their browsers.

When they click on the link from it to your site, your site only sees the videsktop portion of the host name.

You could validate this further by:


Clicking on videsktop in Google Analytics and seeing the the URL paths from the clicks. This might give you further indication of which of viDesktop's web apps are linking to you
Looking further down the referrer list for videsktop.example.com -- maybe somebody accessed it with a full host name in the URL.
