: The referral count under acquisition tab not showing expected results on Google Analytics I made a collaboration where some blogs wrote about our website (franciacortacircuit.com) and linked us,

I made a collaboration where some blogs wrote about our website (franciacortacircuit.com) and linked us, so i opened Google Analytics (GA) to see how many people visited our website by clicking on those links.

In GA I clicked on Acquisition -> All traffic -> Referrals and searched for the domains that linked us and...boom!
From the biggest one (which makes 15K visitors per day) whe had 55 visitors in 2 weeks, while from the other ones only 2...

They really looked too few to me so i made another test to see if everything was working fine. I checked the visits coming from another website i manage (www.racebooking.net), where i put a banner linking to franciacortacircuit.com and from where i am sure some visits came (because for debugging and testing i clicked on that banner from different devices and locations..therefore the counter cannot be 0)

Result? 0. Zero Visits from racebooking.net even if I am sure some visits came because i made those visits for testing.

This makes me think that either i am not using GA properly or I am missing something... What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Additional info

On GA I am monitoring franciacortacircuit.com and all visits to franciacortacircuit.com are 301 redirected to franciacortacircuit.com
On the banner i made on racebooking.net i am not linking to the root of franciacortacircuit.com but i am linking to a sub page.
