Greetings,

I am wondering where everyone else gets their traffic from. Some of the sources where my traffic comes from are:

- Forums (mostly)
- Advertisement (some traffic)
- Articles that I wrote and submitted to ezines (once in a while)
- Search engine (rarely)

Also, does link popularty have a direct relationship with how much traffic your site/domain should get?

Want to hear your opinions.

1) Yahoo search results
2) Google search results (Wish this was higher; working on it)
3) Other search results
4) Expired traffic
5) Others' links to my sites
6) Type-ins
7) Type-oh's
8) Paid links (adwords, etc.)
9) Submitted links (Linkdumps, blogs, etc.)
10) Forums and similar

I think that's most of them, and roughly in order...

1) Google search results
2) MSN search results -- some sites higher than the big G
3) Other search results
4) Links from wherever
5) Misc. little dabs from here & there

BTW I have 1 site (3.5-4.5K uniques/mo) running about a 5% bookmark rate -- would think that helps the count a bit. So might should include return traffic.

For me it's usually MSN, Yahoo, other sites (forums and just sites that link to me), then last of all google.

For me, I find that posting about my website in forums brings in a lot of users. This has worked well for me in the past and better than search engines.

Type-ins (or direct navigation) as a means of acquiring "traffic" seems to be just a small percentage of where members in this thread see their traffic source coming from.

It is estimated that 10-15% of all Web traffic originates from type-ins.

TM or Typo squatting appears to be where the real type-in traffic generators are i.e. surfers think they are getting to something they know or have read from somewhere else, turns out they got the name wrong and ended up on a PPC page instead.

In other words, serious type-in traffic ACTUALLY comes from sponging off the work of others, and the Internet default, .COM, is the extension of choice for this parasitic feeding.

A lot of hosting comes with stats programs. Look and see if you have a stats program in your control panel if you have one.

old links are the main source of my traffic. it's weak, I know. I have little SEO or time for it, so my main work is buying and selling names.
