The Dark Social Attribution Guide
Up to 80% of consumer sharing happens in private channels. If you are not tracking 'Dark Social', you are ignoring your most influential audience.

Private Communities
Discussions on Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp are the new frontline of marketing. These private 'dark' shares are highly trusted but invisible to traditional web analytics, showing up only as generic 'Direct' traffic.
Referrer Stripping
When a link is clicked from a mobile app into a browser, the referrer information is often stripped away. This creates a massive gap in your attribution data, making your social efforts look less effective than they are.
High Intent Traffic
Dark social shares are personal recommendations. This traffic has much higher conversion intent than cold social feed clicks. Identifying and rewarding these shares is critical for growth and word of mouth marketing.
