What is the average percentage of site visits from search engines ?

Recently i saw this graph on alexa and for one of my site and i just wish to find out what must have triggered this.

What and where should i check to find out what caused the line to go up.

My stats doesnt really tell me alot.

Note : The site is NOT new.


Thanks & regards,

    This number can vary widely, but is sometimes a sign of the health of the marketing campaign.
    1. If you are getting less than 10% from search on a low traffic site, most likely you are in a penalty or not ranking very well.
    2. If you are getting 80%+ from search you may have a high bounce rate

    Each case has to be looked at individually though.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    I receive around 90-95% of the traffic strictly from SE, and more than 90% of that is Google. Bounce rate is quite low regardless of all sites beeing 1-page-sites.

    But that was my goal from the begining. Free targeted traffic. The higher the SE % the better if you ask me.

    Sincerely, Bajsich
