Tell me more about this metric
With Google Analytics, an extensive list of popular search engines is recognized (and it's possible to edit this list), and the resulting traffic is then distinguished as either organic or paid. Traffic from unknown search engines are attributed to Referral Traffic.
In addition to Organic, other common traffic types (called Medium) are Direct, Referral, Paid, and Email.
