The old trend of traffic was: 80% Google (Search Engines) & 12 % referral, 7% direct traffic, other 1 %

When i started blogging in 2009, i saw my traffic built up for the first time. It used to be: 60% Search Engines, 25 % referral (Articles), 5 % direct, 8 % Social N/wing & 2 % other.

Now, 2011, here we go: 25 % Search Engines, 30 % referral, 25 % Social N/wing, 6 % direct & 14 % other.

The point is: Focus used to be on Search Engine rankings. Now the trend is just opposite. Engaging more socially, writing up more articles, referring sites, back links, facebooking, tweeting, & the list goes on.............

On top competition & more blogs/sites popping up every hour. Who has time to do that all??? It's now $$ for the sake of traffic.And punching in some $$ is just like throwing dice on the floor. You win or u loose !
