which business sectors Explanation: Using "domains" would indeed be confusing, even if correct. If they had meant "domains" in the Internet sense, then I think they would have said "Bereichsnamen" or "Domänenname". So I do think they mean that: "We will record from which business sectors our web visitors come from". This also makes commercial sense. Schleber, Computer Englisch |

we track the referring domains of visitors to our site(s) Explanation: Most visitors would be referred via an Internet domain one way or another, a certain percentage could probably not be categorised in that way. I doubt the alternative of 'business sector' could be tracked by software so easily, so find that solution unlikely. For a description of visitor tracking procedures in English see below: HTH DShannon Reference: http://www.tigerherbs.com/eclectica/freedom/visitrack.html |

domains Explanation: Your first instinct was right (and so is Academic), the system tracks the domain which referred the visitor to the website. Last year, I was involved in translating a tracking software package -- it was quite an eye opener to find out how much information on the visitor can be collected. Tracking the referring domain or the referring website is very common.
