The ‘Referrer type’ dimension reports which generic channels visitors clicked through to arrive at your site. Adobe maintains the rules for each dimension item, unlike Marketing channels, where your organization maintains rules for each channel.
This dimension references multiple lookup tables internal to Adobe. Each value is based on the referrer of the hit, which depends on Internal URL filters. Make sure that the referrer dimension and internal URL filters are configured correctly.
Dimension items include the type of referrer of the hit. Specific values include the following:
imap://
or mail://
. Does not include online email services, as these typically use https://
protocol.The following list references the ‘Social networks’ lookup table that Adobe uses. Adobe provides this list as a courtesy to Adobe Analytics customers. If you would like to recommend that Adobe adds a domain to this list, have a support delegate in your organization contact Customer Care.
This list is different than the default list of social networks in Marketing channel processing rules.

When you view specific domains in the ‘Referrer type’ dimension, there can be domains that you would expect under ‘Search engines’ listed instead under ‘Other web sites’. For example, you might see 'google.com'
under ‘Other web sites’.
mail.google.com
or autos.yahoo.com
are not search engines, but reside on a top-level domain commonly associated with search. These subdomains do not include a keyword query string, which is why they are included under ‘Other websites’ instead of ‘Search engines’.
