Acquisition > Websites

This is only a suggestion, in order to better match Google ("Links") and Microsoft ("Backlinks").

@dev-101 are you referring to the Search Consoles? Cause in the analytics tool it's eg named "Referrals".

Yes, I haven't looked at Analytics, sorry. Well, "referrals" also sounds good.

@dev-101 do you maybe have any thoughts on why Referrals would be better than Websites?

@mattab one advantage is that it works better for mobile apps etc as it is more generic. At the same time it's a disadvantage for regular web analytics because it is less clear what it is
