What is your #1 source for traffic?

Im in pretty strong niches, so Im getting traffic from refferals for now.

True, i am getting great traffic from Social medias, like FB, MySpace, Squidoo etc.
Now using ping.fm to send updates in all the popular medias, so far the results have been satisfactory

Very true, getting a lot of traffic from social media!
However, Google is still king, then again, I deal with quality sites only so that might be the reason.

Social Bookmarking sites are best source of free traffic, but main target is to get good position on Google and get traffic, it takes time but when get first page appearance always gives targeted traffic.

25% of traffic to my blog comes from google but I get decent traffic from social bookmarking sites too. Looking to get good traffic to get affiliates from blog

Search engines...roughly 50%.

My main traffic is from search engines. Google and Bing. And social media websites and social bookmarks help me a lot too for getting more traffic.

You can't knock the social media sites as they really do produce a steady stream of traffic.

My main traffic is coming from Google.

And forum posting, blog commenting also do me great favor!

Most of my traffic comes from google or yahoo/bing.

During my work on several projects (of several niches) I found an inconsistent
behavior for different projects. Like for online casinos, when my websites was struggling to rank at the first page, I was still getting a targetting traffic from social media. Not to mention, the timely email campaigns which have helped me in achieving "targeted customers".

For most of the projects, google ,bing and blogs are top sources.

Social bookmarking and social networking will do i think, like facebook and twitter its a good source of gaining traffic.

one of my sites gets about 50% of its traffic from Google Image search.

Most of my sites, Google over 50%.

Google. Although for some bizarre reason I cannot fathom, my main sites traffic is mostly coming from digital point at the minute.

Stumbleupon 75% Trying to get more from Google.

Search engines, Google to be more specific. I've found Google is still the best place, at least for me to get "money traffic".

I would say that 80% of my traffic is coming from G and another close to 5%+ from the country specific G sites combined. 5-10% from Google News engine. I get a little referral traffic but nothing to speak of and a few returning visitors every day. And just a few from Twitter.

Article Marketing Baby ... LOVE IT!

Plus I still get a lot of traffic from Google as organic searches.

Google is about 60% of my website traffic.

Social bookamrking & Xml Sitemap Submission is my 1st way to genrate website traffic.
After Article marketing & Press is also best way to collect more traffic.

Referral sites. I get a good amount of traffic from Stumbleupon and a nifty directory I came across.

Majority of my traffic is from SEO and backlinking methods. So organic result listings and just a few visitors from all the articles, social bookmarking, etc.

There are however many different ways to get traffic to your website.

Hi,

I'm just getting going and the informaiton here really helps me think about how to spend my hard earned pesos and my highly valued time. The thing that interestes me is not not only much how you break down the % of traffic coming from different sources but what sort of indiciative traffic volume is this producing - if I'm asking people to reveal 'sensitive' info then I'm sorry - certaily don't mean to stomp on etiquette here but if everyone was willing to at least give some idea of traffic volume associated with a given percentage, it would really help! Am I being cheeky? - I don't mind if the niche the traffic is coming from isn;t mentioned but it would be interesting to just see the levels of traffic that's being generated?

Humble forgiveness sought in advance for possibly tresspassing on forbidden ground

Thanks everyone

web site content is the no1 topic for content, if you have good content to explore then people will come to you, no need to publish the web site any where, they will take your content and will publish it

Social Media is the best source to bring traffic at the best.

Unfortunately most of my traffic and sales comes from Google. Unfortunately because I'm really at the mercy of Google.

i get my traffic from ptc sites and social media .01 per click with about 15 to 20 sign ups for about 1500 click, about 2 sales and it works good for me .....

Still search engines. 80% of traffic around the world came from search engines and the remaining 20% came from various forms.

I always test through media buys but most of my traffic comes from joint ventures. Best source of traffic ever.

Mine is still purely google. Bing is still not catching up. i'm waiting for Facebook's search engine!

I am receiving 60% traffic from google search engine

A large percentage of my traffic is still Google. The rest is from article marketing

There are tons of PPCs advertisers out there other than Adsense and Google..

Chikta, Adbrite, Advertiser etc... you will be surprised if you just look for alternatives to adsense on google

A ton of my traffic comes from Google on most of my sites, I have generally failed at social marketing for most of my sites, the best I have achieved is in the region of 5% for some of my blogs, 95% or more of my non referral traffic comes from Google and I view it as a MAJOR risk, this post of traffic sources shows a breakdown of one of my sites.

I get strange fluctuations from my article marketing depending on the niches etc which I guess is to be expected but being dependant on Google in such a massive way makes me very nervous at times. On two of my sites I have done exceptionally well with hubpages but still not breaking more than 20% of total traffic

That said, I do attribute it to the level of traffic, on low traffic sites my traffic is far more diverse but the moment I reach the 3000+ unique per month mark it starts becoming very search engine heavy and obviously that means mostly Google.

Generally my traffic breakdowns at the 5000 unique mark will be 85% search engines, 5% direct and 10% referral/social
