      Because i am quite new with this, i dont know if i should be happy about those diversity source... I thought if my SEO was better, i could have easily gotten a lot higher Search Traffic (but it seems that my seo is lacking enough?)

      I was wondering if there is any good guide how that traffic source be like? is it like Search : referrence : direct = 2 : 1 : 1? or is it 2 : 2 : 1?

      The site in question is my company site http://ikt.co.id

      EGOL, how about if we compare with the site you ussualy have? how is your percentage traffic source look like?

      again i dont know if i should be happy about anything, because i am quite new... but if my hunch was right, those 1:1:1 on traffic source shows that my SEO is lacking?

            oh one more thing... the SEARCH Traffic?

            i think i have explanation for it... like today why with the traffic spike? because i have just implemented my new learnt technique on creating a good adwords (which keyword all range around quality 7 ~ 10) ... and it paid off (although i paid a lot of money for it ~25$ / day) ... damn it means.. the traffic that comes from search engine is almost non existance...x_x

            sigh... it is because i need to wait a lil bit more for the advantages of those backlinks to be useful? or what? (how long does google usually take a backlink into account? 2 weeks?) , because its just been 10 days since i seo-ed the hell out of this site

              It depends on the site having the link and how deep the link is on the site. The more popular, the quicker the crawl rate and deep the crawl.

                I don't have answers for you, but I wanted to tell you how much I love the design of your site!  Very cool.

                My site's distribution is:

                86% from search

                8% from referring sites

                5.5% from direct

                But, every site is going to be different.  Mine is mostly an information site and I have thousands of pages, so it makes sense that I am going to have more visits from search.

                  I have a large site that gets most of its traffic from search - about 60%.

                  Articles and other static content on the site get about 90% of their traffic from search.

                  However, a blog on the site gets almost all of its traffic from daily RSS and email distribution by Feedburner along with a lot of direct traffic.   There is also a lot of direct traffic to the homepage that clicks into the blog.

                  So, different parts of the site attract traffic from different audiences and I believe that both of them are successful.

                    WOW, that is one extremely SEO site you have there.... that is very nice 😞 , i wish that my site would have that kind of Search Percentage :((

                    still a lot to learn it seems... i am brb , i have to movie marathon the whole Pro Video for sure 😞 , there must be something that i am lacking as to why it caused my search : referral : direct = 1 : 1 : 1

                    PS : Thanks for the comment on the site, that is one of the way i used to get more traffic and back link (doing competition on thefwa.com , dopeawards.com , etc ) , and if i may say so those sources are currently my only high authority backlink source... this week i am going into article mode on some high authority site, such as the seomoz.org ( i am planning to post some extremely interesting article that shares some of the top secret of my own company to the public ), and posting a tutorial to activetuts.com .... if you have any other Great back link source, i am all ear xD

                    Thanks

                      Thanks!  But I personally wouldn't pay too much attention to where the percentages lay.  I would mostly be concerned about whether the numbers keep increasing in each category.

                      When I looked at your percentages, my first thought was, "Man!  I wish I could get as much direct traffic as she does!"  My thought was that if I am only getting 5% direct hits then my brand is not recognizable.

                      I just looked at my stats for direct visits over the last year and I can see that the general trend is upwards.  So, whether it's 5% or 50%, as long as it is going up then I am happy.

                        The downside to a high search percentage is that if the algo changes and the change isn't in your favor, you don't have anything to fall back on. The traffic sources for my model warship combat site are similar to yours Yumi -- about an equal mix of direct, referral, and search engines. It's a comfort to know that if something drastic changed with the search engines, I still have my referral and direct traffic.

                          Seriously. That is pretty amazing. It looks like you have really captured your audience.

                            I feel that your graphs look OK.  The trend is nice, there is traffic and its coming from a variety of sources.  I would gleen a bit more from the stats if I knew a bit more about your business and a relative timeline for which the data has been compiled.  I would not worry..........
