Hello bloggers! I currently have a poll that I would like you to participate in. Since you've already read the title for this thread, I'm assuming you already know what it is. Anyway, go ahead and vote! What Is Your Site's Leading Source Of Traffic? http://slyvisions.com/files/poll-what-is-your-leading-source-of-traffic.php
I cast my vote there. Majority of people have it as the ultimate source of traffic(not revealing too much ) ARonald
You didn't mentioned XML news Aggregators which represents huge percent of my traffic source. I suppose those are "others" vote.
I've gone through three different phase. When I first started my website, I utilized Myspace (in a non spamming way) to market, so my main source of traffic was "referring sites". Then, Google started picking up on my site, so "search engines" became the primary source. Now, my main source is "direct traffic", which leads me to believe that people are bookmarking my website. Plus, it leads me to believe that they're telling people about it as well.
I get all my blog traffic from stumbleupon.com and here at Digital Point. Besides these great resources I also use www.blogengage.com but I'm a little bias as I am the owner
Well on newer sites services like stumbleupon definetely bring more since you aren't indexed and ranking for search engines, but in the long run search engines can drive tons of traffic.
Bloggeries Forum / Directory / Reviews / Polls gets tones from Polls, Google and direct type in as well as countless blogs that link to us for the forum or directory. Being #1 on google for Blog Review and Blog Reviews doesn't hurt either My Home Business Blog Gets about ~10,000 uniques a month with well over half from Stumble... Yes it works but only if the content is top shelf. Most of the traffic goes to this one post.
