Where do my visitors come from? That is always a question bloggers, site owners and advertisers want to know. Knowing who has referred the visitor to my site tells you a lot about that visitor. This information might help you drive better, more finely tuned content to this user.

Demo

Code

<script type="text/javascript">

        if(document.referrer){

           document.write("Hello, Thank you for arriving from: " + document.referrer);

         }else{

           document.write("Hello, Thank you for arriving directly to this page");

}

    </script>
