    Google brings most traffic to almost every of my sites. Except a proxy site, which was getting more visitors via direct visits (type-ins).

    Unfortunately because it seems that 95% of us depend on google when it comes to SE's traffic. This should be rather worrying than making you happy. Between dependance and slavery it is only a thin red line these days... unfortunately :)

    Google here also for nearly all my sites brings like 95% of organic traffic, and I will second the phrase "unfortunately", simply because it really is time for a true SE competitor to emerge and break the near monopoly that G owns in this industry!!! Especially these days with the Google Secret Police (GSP) running all over the Net reporting ToS violations, paid links, etc.

    Who said they hate anybody? Google offers great products and superior search results and is one of the most successful ventures so far in the 21st century! I just think there should be more and better SE competitors in the market.
