This is a nice list of traffic sources ranking from top to bottom. There’s no way other traffic sources can beat SEO, because it is still very powerful (as long we know how to optimize the site well after the Panda update).

Everyone is different. In general, guest blogging tends to send less direct traffic, though it has great benefits in other ways. But if you get a lot of traffic from it, then that’s great!

Hey Donna,

I am just wondering why you placed Guest Blogging so far down the list. I know that I get quite a bit of traffic from Guest Blogging. What has been your own experience with it?

Thanks

Agreed. Diversity is critical, as is tracking, so 80% of one’s focus is on the core, while the remaining 20% handles the rest.

Thank you Donna for that informative post on sources of traffic.

I think what is critical is diversifying one’s traffic sources so that one is not dependent on one or a few alone.

Subsequently, tracking becomes important to identify which sources to now concentrate on while still not entirely neglecting the other sources now identified as less crucial.

I love having organic traffic. I agree that one shouldn’t depend solely on search engine traffic. Sometimes, I also tried to get traffic from social networking sites to have more option. I haven’t tried purchasing traffic and guest blogging though. Maybe I should check out other things you’ve suggested.

As for number 7, article directories, I’ve build my own online business with this traffic generation technique. It’s true that I started in 2006, and at that time, I managed to get top rankings for every keywords I targeted on my site. At this time, all I had to do was writing two or three articles with the keyword that matched my page (the one I wanted to be ranked), and a couple of weeks later, I was on the first page.

It’s not the same today though, with all the competition and the recent panda update. I had to change the way I drive traffic to my site.

Your list is very helpful for me, because I sometimes find myself hyperfocusing on one strategy, especially since I am new to this! I have a lot to think about after reading your advice, and restructure the way I am going about my marketing. Thank you so much.
