    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;oh forgot to explain why it's happening...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; the redirect is happening before the actual adobe analytics code is triggered on your page, so your campaign code. The web analytics code fires on the redirected page,&amp;nbsp; but by that time the user doesnt have a campaign id in the url. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Website Direct Traffic dropped by 50% suddently</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Recently we modified our website URLs, and previous URLs can be redirected to corresponding new URLs. Then the following two weeks, our direct traffic dropped by 50%. And all traffic sources experienced a decrease.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My question is whether this kind of redirection can be counted as direct traffic?&amp;nbsp; Otherwise, why would the direct traffic drop all of sudden after making these changes? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="margin-bottom: 22px; color: #4e4e4e; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Would really appreciate any guidance on this problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="margin-bottom: 22px; color: #4e4e4e; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are sending visitors to url.com?cid=campaigncode and they are being redirected to urlb.com/redirectedpage, that will most likely result in users not having a campaign code associated with their visit and having most of the traffic as direct. You need to parse through the cid to your redirected page to solve this issue. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope it helps. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/Waqas&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Waqas, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you so much for your prompt response.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But I don't understand, according to your interpretation, shouldn't the direct traffic increased and campaign traffic decreased？&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually, campaign traffic is quite normal in this period, while direct dropped dramatically.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would you please explain it further?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hmm that's interesting. Do you mind sending the url in a private message to me and I can try and see if the code is setting anything.&amp;nbsp; And assuming nothing has changed in the marketing channel setup? &lt;IMG src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
