The best referrers are the search engines.

Btw, most of the SEO experts state that we can expect 80% of our search engine traffic to come from Google. But that's only true for contents targeted worldwide.

Here are 2 actual site's stats of referrals from search engines (for Sept 2007)

Site 1 (International audience - Mostly US, EU visitors)
- Google 1923 -- 78%
- Yahoo 204 -- 8%

Site 2 (Targeted at Malaysians)
- Google 1225 -- 20%
- Yahoo 4679 -- 79%


Both of the sites were optimized with Google in mind. But we can see that the Malaysian targeted site has 80% search engine referral from Yahoo.. not Google.

The reason? Maybe bcos most Malaysians still use Yahoo?
