That is very unlikely. A huge chunk of this \u201cdirect\u201d traffic is actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dark social<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is a trend with which every digital marketer must come to terms in 2017.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coined by Alexis C. Madrigal, dark social is essentially website traffic that originates from sources other than direct traffic but is classified as direct traffic by web analytics tools. Dark social is different from direct traffic &#8212; when a website is accessed by typing a URL, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildfusions.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.wildfusions.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or using a bookmarked link.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Why is dark social important? <\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking where website visitors come from is one of the most alluring aspects of digital marketing. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/radiumone.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> RadiumOne<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c84% of global social sharing happens via \u2018dark social\u2019 platforms such as email, copy-and-paste links in chat apps and texting. However, 90% of social marketing investment is on public platforms.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This opens up a whole new world of insights. Instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, email and other mobile apps like Facebook are some of the most common sources of dark social traffic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark social may offer a better understanding of a consumer\u2019s real sentiment than public shares as the consumer might refrain from sharing publicly to avoid oversharing or to uphold a particular character or identity. The RadiumOne research also found that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c46 percent of global consumers age 55 and older share only via dark social.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This figure shoots up considerably when certain industries are considered; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for content related to careers and personal finance, dark social accounts for 83% and 70% of social shares respectively<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Ponder that for a second. It is astonishing.<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c46 percent of global consumers age 55 and older share only via dark social.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h4><b>Finding and measuring dark social.<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any online publisher, the importance of understanding where their visitors originate cannot be overemphasized. That is why digital marketing is so attractive in the first place. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some ways to track dark social traffic and gain insights from consumer activity:<\/span><\/p><ol><li><b>Link shorteners <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 A simple way to start measuring dark social is by using URL shorteners like Google URL Shortener and Bitly. Shortened links look more refined to consumers and make public sharing more appealing.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Social buttons <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 By clearly displaying share buttons of important platforms on all your content, consumers are more likely to use these buttons as they simplify shareability. It also helps to clearly distinguish share buttons from social follow buttons.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Google analytics <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Going back to analytics, the assumption is that anyone landing on the index page of a website constitutes direct traffic. To know how much direct traffic is actually dark social, filter the traffic by segmenting long URLs from short ones.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark Social is here to stay. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildfusions.com\/research-and-insights\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wild Fusion\u2019s Q2 research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Nigeria on the local consumer\u2019s path to purchase, 50% of surveyed respondents prefer to share product feedback in their circle of influence and on brand websites. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most people, their default method of conversation with their circle of influence is within instant messaging apps and not on social media main street. By creatively tracking and measuring dark traffic, digital brand managers can create more campaigns that thrive both on and away from Dark Social. <\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><em><b>Do you have other perspectives on Dark Social and how brands should treat it?
