High % of baidu traffic being classified under other website

[clee510]

Is anyone else seeing a high % of traffic from baidu being classified under other website in the referrer type report? we are seeing nearly 80% of baidu traffic being classified under "other website". We reached out to client care - but they haven't been able to give a clear response as to why this is occurring. We drilled down to the referrer and we are seeing "pos.baidu.com". Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks

Hi,

"pos.baidu.com" does not seem to be the Baidu search engine to me, probably that is why it is not showing up as a search engine. Probably it is some other affiliate/redirect site which is not listed in the Adobe list of recognized search engines. I would still try to confirm it internally. Also, please share your ClientCare ticket number so I could look into it as well.

Thanks

Also, have a look at this article which explains why some search engines could come into 'Other websites' category - https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/kb/en_US/analytics/kb/search-engines-in-other-websites.ht...
