What is Referrer-Domain represent in CPVLab Visitor Stats?

Can I get an explanation of what "referrer domain" actually is? Im viewing my live VIsitor Stats on CPVLab for my Lead Impact campaign and I just dont understand what the Referrer-domain column represents. Anyone know? These are not the URLs of the sites the popup triggered, cuz Im assuming the "targets" column is showing this. Confused.

The referrer domain comes from the last domain that was redirected to before hitting your CPVLab domain.

Sometimes it can be the URL of the sites you advertise on, but that really depends on the advertising network.

The domain you're seeing as the referrer is probably a domain owned by Lead Impact.

The targets column should show you that information. Did you use the proper LI tokens in the CPVLab Link?

^^ Just to add that a referrer domain in LI is the last domain user visited before your ad popped up over the target domain you bid on. Most networks hide referrers but with LI you can often see real domains your visitors coming from and bid on them too

Great tip peanut, so just grab all the URL's from referrer-domain column and bid on all of them? Or do you go after the ones you see repeatedly?
On a side note, since my LI experts are in the house, Im seeing China, Japan, and a few Canada countries listed even though all the LI traffic is supposed to be US only.. You ever get that? I contacted them but they said its probably not coming from their end.. Not sure how to respond to that. THANKS!

You decide to bid or not to bid; very often these referrers are google, bing or youtube so proceed with caution

Regarding the foreign visitors I'm sure these are spy tools and other affiliates "looking for ideas"...
