  How is Facebook a referrer to my wordpress blog when I don’t have a facebook page linked to my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you have social sharing buttons enabled on your posts, a reader might share the post with their friends on Facebook. If their friend clicks that link they’ve shared to read your blog, you would see that view as a Facebook referral.

  This can also happen if someone copy/pastes a link to your blog and shares on Facebook or through FB Messenger.

  Hope this helps!
