Hello from YORKTEST.com

I pulled up a Traffic sources report in Google analytics and got the below:

1. lifestyle.aol.co.uk / referral 1,109
2. (direct) / (none) 176
3. homeinonhealth.com / referral 130
4. yorktest.com / referral 92
5. google / organic 72

My question is what does (direct) / (none) mean? Any insights welcome :-)

Direct is where the user has gone directly to your site (by typing the website address in the address bar) as opposed to having been referred from another site, via tracked online marketing etc.
