title: google analytics: what is the difference between referrer path vs previous page path?
body: <p>I would like to find out the difference in Google analytics between "Referral path" and "Previous page path"? </p>
  
  <p>The task is to get a number of visits that came to a page from another section of the web site. The section contains many pages which I want to regard as a sole referrer.</p>
  
  <p>I made the following experiment: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>1) setup an Advanced segment with two conditions page title contains
  "x page title" AND referral path contains "y-product". </li>
  <li>2) compared
  the figures from (1) with the sum of numbers under "Previous Page
  Path" in "Navigation summary".</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In short, there is nothing in common between both numbers. So, what are the "referrer" and "previous page" in Google Analytics? Thanks</p>
