A Note about Direct Traffic
• Direct Traffic in Multi Channel Funnels is treated differently than in standard reports.
• In standard reports, the last campaign touch will remain the source of traffic for 6 months (by default)
• In Multi Channel Funnels, any “direct visit” will be counted as direct.
