The two dashboards
Imagine you want to know where your audience comes from and which ad campaign actually paid off. Traffic Acquisition shows the macro channels and sources — from organic search to social media — and tells you which channel brought the most volume, which is highest quality, and whether your site has become dependent on a single channel. Campaigns gives you a finer layer: any link tagged with UTM parameters becomes a measurable campaign here, and you see which campaign drove the most traffic and whether that traffic was actually good.
How traffic is identified & classified
Each session's source is derived from the Referrer header and the landing URL's UTM parameters, then mapped to a channel; arrivals with no signal count as Direct.
