Traffic Sources Overview

Last month referring sites sent me 40.25% of total traffic and Search Engines 30.92%, direct traffic 28.16%, other sources is less than 1%. I receive about 10,000 unique hits/month. What is the maximum percentage I can expect from search engines? I’m very curious to know, if big sites (sites getting +100,000 hits per month) get majority of hits from search engines or referring sites?

 

There really is no limit, it just depends on the content of the site and how well your site is optimized.

 

What type of traffic is better? Traffic from search engines or traffic from referring sites?

 

I would have to say traffic that is from search engines is better, as that person is searching for what you have to offer.

 

yes i think that traffic from Search engine is better.

 

Traffic from search engines is much more important that is why you need to know what people are looking around your niche. You should know what people are searching and interested about.

 

ok thanks. Looks like identifying and optimizing each and every article is very important, so that i can have relevant pages listed on Google for relevant search keywords...

 

good to know, i always assumed it was the opposite
