    I couldn't find a more suitable sub forum to ask this so moderators, feel free to move this thread to any suitable forum.

    In Google Analytics, I have noticed that about 50% of my visitors come directly not from a referring source meaning they type the address of my site directly in their browsers or through bookmarks but it's very strange because about 96% of my visitors are new visitors and not returned ones!

    I can't understand this, where 50% of my visitors come from?!!

    People have obviously found you link somewhere and are typing it in or copy pasting it into the browser.

    It is xxx

    I am already using it.

    It is hard to believe that one link without http could bring me half of the traffic for months!

    maybe some of your links is not live. So visitors might just copy your links and paste it on the browser.
