My suggestion, being a clan leader myself

, would be to join gamers forums and put the link in your signature or post a link to your site. That would target the right audience. Also link exchanges with other gaming sites or buy banner space from them.

Aside from that, I get most my traffic from MSN.

Most of my traffic comes from word of mouth. The artists and photographers that post pictures on my photo gallery site tell their friends and family to check out their pictures.

Most of the traffic are direct addresses. Search engines only took up like 13% and references from other websites are about 12%. The main bulk are still direct visits. I am looking at the prospect of buying express inclusion on AllTheWeb or Ezine advertising.

75 per cent of my traffic comes from search engines and 95 per cent of my search engine traffic comes from google and yahoo.

**john546** · 04-23-2005, 10:52 PM

Most of mine comes from Google followed by Yahoo followed by other means of traffic.

google best resources

**htmlmaster** · 05-11-2005, 09:08 PM

Ehhh, I really only have one, thats links on other sites. Mainly directories, but hey, it works.

**bentong** · 06-17-2005, 04:40 AM

google for primary & secondary kw's..

**htmlmaster** · 06-22-2005, 08:49 AM

Hmm, now I seem to be getting a bit of traffic from MSN, currently number 6 for keyword "Webmaster Forum". Heh, Webmaster-Talk.com is beating me, number 5.

**tm!** · 07-12-2005, 03:03 AM

For me... Webpositioning at google is most important. It generates lots of traffic.

**promo2go** · 09-13-2005, 08:30 PM

Yahoo and Google or combine that answer into one and say search engine then comes world of mouth

**RapidSubmit** · 09-15-2005, 03:13 PM

We get most of our traffic from our free submission plan, while doing this they have to add a banner to there website, then we submit them. And when visitors visit there website in return see our banner, and most of the time click through there.

**Oolong** · 09-27-2005, 07:12 AM

On the whole, my own site gets more hits from www.stumbleupon.com than anywhere else, mostly for my applets Resonata and Trochor. This only works if you have pages that people like so much that they actively want to share them with friends and random strangers, I suppose.

After that, Google accounts for far more of my traffic than any other site - around 10 times as many visitors as Yahoo, its nearest competitor. I do surprisingly well in searches on various terms (trigonometry, oolong, Fimo, fractal in a Google Image Search...) although so far the only one-word one I've noticed being number one hit for is 'curlicue'.

I'd be very curious to know whether other people get so much more traffic from Google than from other search engines; this article only gives around twice the volume for Google as it does for Yahoo, which in turn gets almost twice as many as MSN, but I'm seeing much greater differences than that, both for my own site and for the Edinburgh International Festival site which I maintain (again, more than a factor of 10 between Google and Yahoo - even though we seem to turn up higher in Yahoo's results).

I wonder if this could be partly a geographical thing - do more Americans than Europeans use Yahoo for searching, perhaps?

My Web-side is a English - Germandictionary and tools to learn German and English : http://d.selfip.com
The most hits are coming from www.witch.de and www.metager.de.
But Metager is a meta-search engine and get's the link from witch.de

**HaRRo** · 10-29-2005, 11:35 PM

Google , Brings in the most , then close between Yahoo and MSN, then banner exchanges, and lastely i guess word of mouth.

But hey nothing beats PPC if you pay for it

**r2d246** · 12-21-2005, 06:24 AM

here's the simple answer to that question "them all".

**ipodman** · 02-01-2006, 12:46 PM

For me I get about 30-40 unique hits from Google each day! Google likes my site

**promo2go** · 02-22-2006, 12:45 PM

I guess it depends on your site and you promote it, but for most I would say google or SE's

**pantat_rata** · 04-10-2006, 11:27 PM

Well, Google doesnt love me that much =-/ but MSN does =)
