ycombinator will be listed in the referring url within Google Analytics. The reports won't be super clean, it's really not that hard to figure out.


Actually, since hackernews is loaded over https, and the article is http... no referrer is sent.


There's a fix for this that the HTTPS site can add to <meta>, which works with newish browsers: the "meta referer" header: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Meta_referrer

(Looks like HN doesn't set it.)


Ah, yes you're right. I forgot HN was https and didn't bother to check.
