    Would be interesting to know how bloggers get their traffic and through which sources. For example: 30% Organic; 10% directories; 20% through links in forums and comments on other blogs, etc, etc

    So.... Which are your sources of traffic?

    80% Organic Search.
    Especially this holiday season. I've got a bump in traffic of more than 100%. The largest traffic going to this page: Dissidia Translation

    dont rely traffic from dirs, forum links and comments..
    actually you wont get a good traffic from them..
    always go for organic and social media :)

    organic traffic has nothing to do with PR..
    you only have to concentrate on SERPS..
    to get there, write an article with good keyword density.. give it a boost by submitting to article dirs.

    1.) Build Links

    2.) Do on page optimisation ( title, keywords and other stuff)

    PR and organic traffic are not directly related.

    Your best bet in my opinion is organic and social networking especially if you give good content.

    Is there a way to figure out where your traffic is coming from without having the live traffic feed on the actual website?

    Around 60% organic. The rest are social media, directories, and other blogs.

    Try getting traffic via youtube. Make a video related to your site's content and leave your url there. Then people get's curious whats the url about and tries to open it :D.

    I do it a lot of times and i get lots a traffic.

    Currently I'm at about 20% direct, 30% Search, 50% Referral.

    The search number is growing by the day though with the more posts I make. Some of the referring sites/social media are doing wonders on SEO
