hi, all,

Those are links visitors have clicked from emails where they've used yahoo
mail to read the mail. That could be an email from pinterest (though I
wouldn't naturally attribute it to this), or from Twitter DMs picked up by
email, or from a third party email mentioning you, or indeed from any other
email. For example, if I was reading this thread in Yahoo mail & clicked a
link in your signature, you'd see that as a referral from Yahoo mail in
Google Analytics. I guess your members will probably send links to their
videos to other people, Caroline - it could even be that.

If you are sending 'your' email campaigns through mailchimp, with a bit of
luck you are adding Google Analytics campaign tracking code to your URLs,
in which case you would see those details in favour of the referral
address. (info on that here, in case you're not already doing it:
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/can-i-add-google-analytics-tracking-to-my-email-campaigns
 )

If you do a co-brand email with someone else, and they send it, it's worth
using Google Analytics campaign tracking so that you can distinguish clicks
from their vs clicks from other emails. (more info on that here:
