I hate digg... And careful with it. Your competitor can kill your digg's traffic just by reporting about your site. And it doesn't matter if your site is legitimate or not. Oh yup, and dont bother to ask them to check your site once it has been marked as spam. They dont really care of who you are..

Cheers!

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?

honestly i will prefer google
haha

There could be several reasons, including:

1. The site ranks high on Yahoo but not so high on Google for the site keywords.
2. The keywords are targetted at the "general public". Yahoo has a definite advantage here because many computer suppliers tend to place Yahoo as the home page when they deliver a new computer.
3. The language of the website seems to matter. If the website is in English, there seem to be more Google users.

I have a website in BM where 65% of search engine visitors are from Yahoo and about 30% are from Google. MSN and the rest account for the remaining 5%. The major keywords are ranked on the first page on both Yahoo and Google,with the 2 highest traffic keywords ranked first on both. This is from 68,570 visitors from search engines over the last 2 years.

I also have a website in English where basically the same keywords are ranked on the first page of Yahoo, MSN and Google, some with better ranking on Yahoo than MSN or Google, but I am getting 48% from Google, 30% from Yahoo, 20% from MSN and 2% from the rest.

Commenting on other blogs work the best for me!

thanks for sharing everyone~

We enjoy most of our traffic through organic search, we are at the top for most of our keywords, so we get traffic from all over the world.
Google is most reliable source for us to get traffic

PPC is the fastest way to get huge traffic but it need $$$

SEO and forum posting

I agree with you Basoone and think that article directories are good sources of traffic as well, specially if your article is well-liked, featured and taken by several other article directories, blogs, forums, etc. Such organic rankings may come to the top 2 SERPs later than social networking or social bookmarking sites, but will last longer up there.

I just wanted to share my experience on this with you.

Good Luck!

Most of my traffics are from Entrecard,partially are from SEO. I am still work hard on SEO which i generate traffics from all over the world within niche market.
