Read more about each of these sections below.
Member Stats
Enrollment: Includes all Invites sent and each registration page view which includes site (portal) registration page views along with embedded registration page views (widget & iframe).
Joined: Members that have joined a program, sorted by Source. Sources include Registration page, One click access, API, Import, Direct add, Member request, Single sign on, Invite Automation, and Invite Campaign.
Engagement: Reflects how much your Members are engaging with your program. Statistics included in this statistic reflects Member portal views (including embedded programs), how many times your members have shared the program, and how many Referral Rock emails they have opened.
Referral Stats
Note: Referral Visits and Page Views are cookie reliant.
Referral Visits: Referral visits generated from your members' referral links. This statistic shows the UTM source of the visit, if available. A Referral Visit is not the same as normal page views. Referral Visits are counted after 30 minutes of inactivity by the referral.
For example, if a referral clicked a members link and is sent to a referral page with a form, they may want to read through the offer before filling the form out. Each time they revisit or refresh the page, each page view the referral makes will count as 1 Referral Visit once the referral has had no page view activity for 30 minutes.
Page Views: Each individual page view a Referral has made after clicking a Member's referral link. The statistic breaks up which page views were directly from a Member's referral link, as well as any external page views, which includes visitors that have been cookied as a referral and may visit your website which contains our Universal Tracking Script.
Captured: Referrals that have been converted, separated by Status.

FAQs
What is the difference between the dark blue and light grey lines on the line charts?
The dark blue line indicates the data for the current time frame chosen using the Activity filters. If the data value is 0 for the time period, the line will not appear.
The light grey line represents the data for the previous period of that filter. The grey line could represent the previous period by day, week, or month, depending on the filter chosen.
If you choose the "All-time" filter, the light grey line is not visible because there is no previous period to compare it to.
Example: If you select "Last 7 days" for your data filter, the dark blue line represents the last 7 days while the light grey line represents the 7 days before that, allowing you to easily compare data points.
What is the difference between Referral Visits and Page Views under the Referral Statistics section?
Referral Visits and Page Views are related but they are not the same.
Referral Visits and Page Views are cookie reliant.
Referral Visits are visits generated by your members to their share URL, either bringing them to your Referral Page or redirecting the user to your website. However, if one referral visits the same Referral Rock referral page multiple times, or if you have our Universal Script installed on each page of your external website, we are able track each page view through Referral Rock's universal script and Cookie.
Once the referral does not have page view activity for 30 minutes, we then count their entire session as 1 Referral Visit. Once a referral is converted, we no longer track their cookie.
The donut on the homepage breaks these referral visits up by UTM parameter when available.
Page views include each page view, whether it is a Referral Rock referral page or an external page with our Universal Script, as long as the user is cookie'd as a Referral.
A great way to think of the difference between the two, is to imagine your local grocery store. Referral visits are the grocery store itself and page views are each individual aisle within that grocery store. Upon leaving the grocery store, your visit to the store will count as one "referral visit". While you were inside, you walked down ten aisles, so those count as ten "page views".
Note: Page views are only counted on site pages with our referral.js script.
The chart below explains the difference between referral visits and page views further:
Example Action | Example Page View / Referral Visit |
1. Referral clicks on a Member's Referral link and are redirected to your website | 1 page view |
2. Referral checks out your Pricing page and decides to fill out your form | 1 page view (Total: 2) |
3. Referral submits the form and is redirects to a Confirmation page, where Referral Rock's conversion script captures the referral | 1 page view (Total: 3) |
4. 30 minutes elapse | Total: 3 page views, 1 Referral Visit |
