One of my sites has recently been included in Google News and I am seeing a spike in traffic. However, when I try to analyze the source of the traffic via referrals, Google News traffic number is tiny (news.google).I am seeing increases in both organic and direct traffic channels as well as my queries and impressions in GWT. I am working with a 3 week sample so this is not a random event. Increases are steady.Could some of the Google News traffic be placed under organic or direct in my GA reports.
