    How many people on this forum depend on Google 100% to get visitors for their sites?

    Can I know from you guys that why you depend on Google?

    Just want to know your opinion…..

    Nope, Yahoo, MSN, and many others provide traffic as well

    Not at all from Google. We rely mostly on directories, and 7search.com PPC.

    As much as I hate to say it - I depend on them WAY too much.. probably 80% of my visitors come from them, and I hate that!

    To steal a quote from John Chow

    'If you live by Google you'll die by Google'

    If Google is your only means of driving traffic then IMO you need to get to work on building other sources of traffic. If 80% of your traffic comes from Google, and for one reason or another your SERP dropped or you got banned (as was the case with John Chow) you're going to be dead in the water.

    I am dependent on G because that is where most of my traffic comes from, on some days all traffic is from them.

    I dont depend on Google at all. My website has been live for about 1 month and i only received 2 visitors from Google. The reason im not complaining tho is because my site is in a very popular niche and i know it'll take a while to start getting traffic.

    Google can give you huge amount of traffic in pretty less time.without it you can't imagine your traffic to be sky-rocketed.

    I have several sites that receive over 80% of their traffic from organic search results on Google...so yes I rely on Google for those sites. I'm also dependent on Google for all of the sites that run Adsense. Oh, and my PPC campaigns on Adwords are also dependent on Google. Google's got my ass good.
