Referrer empty in Analytics if not search engine

[nitishlamba1]

I am working on a dashboard where If I see the referrer values, I only contains search engine urls and not any other urls like agent website urls. Has anyone faced this issue before?

@nitishlamba1 I suggest checking the internal URL filters within report suite settings.
Remove (.) period from the internal URL filter and add your own site URL.

Refer to below document for details:

Thanks @atusingh 

When you say, add own site URL, do you mean all the website within that report suite or can i keep it empty?
And how much time it takes for the referrer URLs to appear in the report?

Hi @atusingh, I have updated it but it still does not populate the expected domain but it still has search engine domains as referrer. Why is it so?

[atusingh]

Not sure how much time it takes.

My guess, would be, that changes takes place right away and the data with referrer should show after 60 - 90 minutes (based on report suite latency).
However, I suggest you to wait for 24 hours to see if data starts to flow in referrer report.

Also, make sure your internal URL filter contains url for your internal sites (own sites) and also make sure s.referrer get populated whenever user lands from partner site to your site.
