It's risky to rely too heavily on a single source of traffic, esp. a search engine that could change its ranking methods tomorrow.

I'm always curious to see where others get their traffic. Here's my breakdown: 33% Direct 15% Twitter 12% Google 9% Facebook I don't think I get as much traffic from Google as I would like because the community I cover is right outside of Chicago and we have two local papers. So there are lots of people already writing about current events. In terms of my most popular content, anything about restaurants opening or closing tends to spark a lot of conversation (I believe we're a community of foodies). Crime is also a hot topic (with one story about a recent theft generating 47 comments alone). Interesting stats. I’m always curious to see where others get their traffic. Here’s my breakdown:
