    I,m getting most of my visitor from social media websites. Facebook is providing me 40% of my daily traffic.

    Post Panda: about 1/3 referral traffic, 1/3 search engine, 1/3 direct. So 2/3 of my traffic has nothing to do with SEO. It makes me realise that I have wasted a lot of time in the past courting Google.

    My website is very new and right now most of my traffic is coming from this forum. I am working on a few guest posts that should help bring in some more. I got a few clicks from Twitter but nothing special.

      Most of my traffic comes from my own list. Once I got the people on my list I send them back to check out more!

      Hope it helps.

        I get more than 75% of my (non-subscriber) traffic from article marketing, including some guest blogging, in the way outlined here.

        I get just under 20% of it from search engines (predominantly Google) but that's very poor quality traffic, by comparison, and even though I get floods of it, it probably contributes only about 3% of my income: as so many others also find, those visitors stay less time, view fewer pages, opt in less often and buy anything far less often.

        The remaining 7%/8%, most of it far more responsive and productive than search engine traffic, comes from quite a big mixture of other places (including even some social media traffic - also pretty poor quality from my perspective - arising when others have voluntarily linked to or promoted some of my content. I don't do that, myself, on social media sites, and am always surprised that others do, but they do).

    I mix my traffic sources actually but I believe the BEST method is content marketing. When you do content marketing you invest into your future - beside all other techniques your content will be there in a year from now as well :-)

        I just launched recently but right now mostly reddit and niche related forum (dating/PUA), though stumbleupon is interesting, assuming I do not get shut off for adding too much % of links from the same domain
