Thanks Jonathan

So it could also be people who get our newsletter and who are clicking? Doesn't necessarily have to be 'send to a friend', the thing that's being measured is the receiving domains, regardless of where it's coming from?

If that's so, is it possible in Google Analytics to distinguish between traffic driven to our site by one of our newsletters and traffic driven by a co-promotion in someone else's newsletter?

thanks, C
