You can add accounts.google.com to this list, but if you are authenticating users with Facebook, the referral exclusion list won't help you. | |
| Oct 10, 2014 at 17:32 | comment | added | M Schenkel | I have this same problem. But for my situation instead of paypal my users are redirected to Google for authentication. When they return the referral counts as "accounts.google.com". I then put accounts.google.com in the list but now the referral are showing up as "(direct)", not the original referrer. | |

| Aug 29, 2014 at 16:03 | comment | added | DLM | Thanks I'm aware of this feature. The only question I have is will this completely exclude the entire conversion? i.e. I have 3 conversions from Paypal and 4 from Organic (7 in total). Will excluding Paypal give me a total of 4 conversions? | |
