# Type-In Traffic

*Article Topics:* [*Sites*](/getting-started/common-topics/sites.md)*,* [*Reporting*](/getting-started/common-topics/reports.md)*,* [*Track*](/getting-started/common-topics/tracking.md)*,* [*Tour*](/nats-admin/sites/site-management/tour-overview.md)

Type-In Traffic is considered to be any visitor/surfer that was not redirected through an affiliate's link, and as a result, has not had their hits/activity tracked or gone through standard tour pages.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please Note:** The following Examples use NATS code "MC4wLjEuMS4wLjAuMC4wLjA", which is ONLY for **siteid 1** & **tourid 1.** Please retrieve your corresponding NATS code via your tour's [linkcode section](/nats-admin/sites/site-management/tour-overview.md#linkcodes).
{% endhint %}

Default Join Form Link:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
<linkdomain>/signup/signup.php?nats=<?=(!empty($_REQUEST['nats']) && !preg_match('/[\'\"<>()\\\+\[\]]/', $_REQUEST['nats']))?$_REQUEST['nats']:'MC4wLjEuMS4wLjAuMC4wLjA'?>&step=2
```

{% endcode %}

## NATS Admin

NATS allows tracking of Raw and Unique hits that come from Type-In traffic and have gone through a Default Track Link. In order to view Type-In traffic, you must select Type-In for the Program when generating a report.

### Tracking Type-In Traffic's Raw and Unique Hits

If you would like to track all Type-In traffic's Raw and Unique hits you will need to set up a re-direct script at the beginning of your Site's Tour pages.

The following is an example of a simple redirect script you could set up to do this:

```
<?php
	if(empty($_REQUEST['nats'])) {

		//redirect through track

		header("Location: " . <track URL>);

	}
?>
```

The track URL for Type-In Traffic can be taken from the [Site Admin](/nats-admin/sites.md), listed under the "Default Join Form Link". However you will need to edit it, so it goes through a track link and not to your join form. For example:

Default Join Form Link:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
<linkdomain>/signup/signup.php?nats=<?=(!empty($_REQUEST['nats']) && !preg_match('/[\'\"<>()\\\+\[\]]/', $_REQUEST['nats']))?$_REQUEST['nats']:'MC4wLjEuMS4wLjAuMC4wLjA'?>&step=2
```

{% endcode %}

You will want to take out signup/signup and replace it with /track, and remove the \_REQUEST\['nats']\(since the redirect script will do this already). Then you will want to take out the \&step=2 so it does not go to your join form. Lastly, remove the rest until you are left with the following:

```
<linkdomain>/track/MC4wLjEuMS4wLjAuMC4wLjA
```

You will need to repeat this for additional sites you want this redirect.
