What javascript code should I add? I want a certain (short message) to show only to visitors who came from one webpage (url, not whole domain). This should not appear (hidden) to other visitors through any links or search engines.
Thanks

You need to find the referer. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_doc_referrer.asp

And as a sidenote, `document.referrer` is notoriously unreliable, and is one of the many reasons you generally shouldn't be doing this.

You could check document.referrer for a specific page:
if (document.referrer == "http://www.example.com/somepage") {
// display message
}
