What percentage of all your visitors come from Search Engines?

I hope this is in the right place - if not sorry!

I was just wondering as to what % of visitors you get to your site come from search engines.

I have a site that is currently getting around 11% of total visitors through search engine generated traffic. I know I can improve this with SEO techniques and have done so recently - however I was just wondering what the 'average' was - or atleast if we could get a DP average via this thread.

Cheers

My newest site is 75%, its coming upto 4 months old now i think..

 

Mine is at about 70% and this value is staying constant since about 2 yrs.

 

WOW - if I could get to 70% that would mean a significant increase in my visitor numbers.

That's great guys, it gives me something to aim for.

Hopper, I think you can get your targeted traffic only through searchengines.
They are the only source for getting new visitor, if your site ranks higher in search engine then you will see the exact effect of SE.

 

My traffic started increasing drastically lately because of Google. My site use to get about 30% of its traffic from Google but now that has jumped to 45%. Earnings have tripled and so have the number of visitors.

 

Hopper,

looking across 20+ sites I'd guess the split is more like 60% search engines, 40% from other links.

 

Mine is 12%, 4 months in the game.

 

Mine is 30% bassically i purchase banners ads etc so that is main source of traffic

Around 70% is from search engines.

 

65% from Search Engines, Most of if from Google....

 

Its some where around 45 % ...
Mostly from Google, then MSN, then Yahoo and then many others

 

Around 70-80 % from search engines.Mainly from google and msn.

 

depends... but most of the time arround 15% - 30%

 

Actually, the percentage depends on your ranking for your relevant keywords AND on the keywords themselves: if you have to share traffic with many other websites since your keyword is one that is very frequently used, your percentage must decrease, even with good ranking.

So, it is not really useful to compare these percentages without knowing that they refer to the same keyword. Even the relatively low percentages given by some of the contributors to this thread may in fact indicate extremely well SEOed webpages, and the relatively high values (like mine) may point to rarely used keywords...

 

For my sites it is about 80% mostly from the 3 major search engines

 

One of my main sites gets from the search about 22%
