Do you rely heavily on organic traffic, adwords, bing, banner ads or perhaps youtube videos?

What makes up the bulk of the traffic your site receives?

    having a blog is an excellent idea - then you integrate all the other traffic methods and send them to a landing page which can be located in front ofyour blog - once you have a list keep sending them back to your blog ... that way they keep you mind and if you don't make the sale the first time you'll make it the 2nd time

      Ideally, you want to diversify and use a combination of many different methods so you're not overly reliant on one particular method.

    I agree with the previous post.

    You need a combination - And watching the traffic source overview in your Analytics will show the effectiveness of your campaigns.

    For example, if you're doing a huge push in offline marketing, then your 'direct traffic' should jump - so watch that traffic and its behavior.

    If you are doing a PPC campaign, then watch your 'Campaigns' traffic - and it's surge.

    If you're doing guest blog posting, forum posting, or otherwise, then watch yoru referral traffic behavior.

    And if you're doing SEO - watch the 'Organic traffic' source and how it behaves.

    With the organic traffic, though, you'll have to use the Webmaster Tools for further Meta Optimization for CTR in the search engines - with PPC campaigns, you have the CTR effectiveness in the PPC platform itself.

    Optimize everywhere - including your site - always watch the behavior..

    I didn't mean the original post to seem like I needed advice, I was just curious what other successful sites are doing. I seriously doubt every site out there brings in equal amounts of traffic from all of their sources.

    I do very little advertising and rely heavily on organic traffic for my sites which pretty much have their print in the top searches. However, during peak periods for the niches I am in and holidays, I do quite a bit of adword/search engine and radio advertising.

    Social media makes up a good chunk of traffic to my ecommerce site. Facebook and Twitter are great of course, but you might wan to look into Instagram as well. I get a ton of traffic from my instagram profile.

    Mine:

    #1)Test with PPC to find great keywords -----> SEO and rank for these keywords.
    #2)Affiliate traffic

    Of course this is the tip of the iceberg, typical for a "niche" E-commerce site.
