I have a facebook iframe application - let's call it apps.facebook.com/my-app.

We currently use Google Analytics for our tracking, and I correctly have Google Analytics installed on my application (that is included via iframe to the FB app) & it is tracking any use of the application mentioned above.

However, I would like to find out what the traffic source is to my-app PRIOR to facebook; ie, if a user goes to domain1.com, and follows a link from there to apps.facebook.com/my-app, it appears that the "traffic source" gets tracked as "apps.facebook.com" rather than "domain1.com", b/c the GA is installed within my code of the page included via the iframe, so its http referer is apps.facebook.com

Is there any way to retrieve "domain1.com" as my traffic source, in this case? Or any suggestions to try? (whether using Google Analytics, or another source? I see that the facebook insights does give some information on referrers, but it's not very extensive at all; no date ranges, etc)

Thanks so much! - ali
