How’s your site’s traffic? – Direct Traffic Analysis

October 1st, 2008 | Posted by janet b in SEO Factors

Are you getting better at getting free traffic? Hope so. This is one of the few SEO metrics I have always liked. It isn’t aligned with any paid advertising, banner ads, email marketing – no, its just due to pure SEO. How well is your site getting found by those searching on generic keywords? Probably it’s also because you have new and engaging content to review or probably your site’s URL is easy to remember – i know mine just isn’t – unless you know my name.So the less influenced by other things fun metric of the day – Direct Traffic!

    It certainly is a nice picture, but I am going to give credit where credit is due, that image is from Avinash Kaushik’s blog, one of the leaders in the analytics community. Apologies for not mentioning that in my original post.
