About half of traffic to my main site comes from search engines, about 5% from referrals from other sites, and the remainder from direct addressing, bookmarks or email links (if you believe AWstats)
Organic traffic: 100% targeted and the conversion rate from the traffic from search engines is pretty much good.
Traffic coming from Social media: Beneficial but can be good source for exposure of product or company and not for generating expected business and increases the bounce rate of website which is not that good.
Referral Links: Beneficial but only if coming from high traffic website.
So, if you lost most of your rankings, all your traffic would be gone, correct? I know its best to split your source of traffic from various sources - that way, you don’t hurt at all if you lose any rankings.

Ya, I use social media as well to market - it has brought in a lot of members. Are you using twitter, facebook, and the other networking sites?
That’s easier said than done, depending on your target market. For the site that I’m running, the majority of available traffic will be coming from search engines or direct addressing (particularly returning to previously visited/bookmarked site). I don’t see any great scope for getting a huge volume of referral traffic from other non-search sites - while it is a possibility, the amount of work it would take for the likely ROI is not worth the effort.
Yes, if I lose search rankings, I’m stuffed. It’s a gamble I’m going to take!
there is 75% traffic that search engines sent and rest is divided between social media and other forums. without SE traffic its really hard to survive.
Its depend on how many keywords you have rank in SERPs. Or if you rank to a one and a high traffic keyword then you’ll get a lot of traffic from search engine.
It also depends on whether or not your site has been indexed and to what degree as I can not find most of the pages of my newer site in results that should be showing up because it is very similar to another site of mine that is generating a ton of google traffic for many different keywords.
For as long as I’ve been tracking it. To be honest, given the nature and content of the site, it’s about what I’d expect and hope for. It isn’t a site where I would expect to get a huge number of referrals - some, yes, but not too many as a proportion of total traffic.
Another site has less than 20% of traffic from search engines, and about 30% from referrals.
