It is
sometimes useful to know whether the referring domain is from a page
that is internal to the site (an internal referrer) or from a page
outside of the site (an external referrer). You can use the referrer_internal
column to track whether a referrer is internal or external.
When this
column is set to a value of
1, the referrer is understood to be an internal referrer. Otherwise,
the referrer is understood to be an external referrer.
In the
template jobs, the
Rules tab in the Clickstream
Parse transformation contains a sample rule called
Detect
internal referrer for setting the referrer_internal column
value to
1. This rule is disabled
by default. When enabled, it searches the Referrer_Domain to determine
whether the record was referred by an internal domain.
