Finding Stumbled Pages in Google Analytics

StumbleUpon can be a great way to drive traffic to your site, and for many people it’s one of their top referring sites. A question we often get is how to see which pages from your site are getting traffic from StumbleUpon. Thanks to the new advanced segments feature on Google Analytics, this should take about 5 minutes to get the information you need.

First, go into your analytics account, to the profile you are interested. In the left column, under Settings, click “Advanced Segments”. On the next page, at the top right corner, click “Create New Custom Segment”.

Type “source” into the search box above dimensions, and then drag the green source box over to the area on the right.

Set the condition to “Contains” and set the value to “stumbleupon.com”

Give it a name and hit “Create Segment.”

Now go to your Top Content report, and click on “Advanced Segments” in the upper right corner. Unclick “All Visits” and select “StumbleUpon” or whatever you called it.

And there you have a nice list of all the pages that are getting traffic from StumbleUpon.
