GA -What is "other"?

[KidsBeeHappy]

Hi

Looking at my google analytics, I now have an extra yellow piece of the pie for Traffic Sources called "other".

Does anyone know what this is - is it other Search Engines?

Thanks
Sandra

Bing Yahoo etc etc I believe from my own accounts it looks that way

Usually it's traffic from email campaigns or visitors from RSS feed readers that hasn't otherwide been flagged as direct or referral traffic.

As mattsaw has said - generally its from emails and "other" sources (sorry, thats not awfully helpful). It won't be from web-links, etc - and has been separated out from direct as it's from "another" source.

In the past I've seen Facebook show up under other, though not sure if that has changed recently!
