And i've been freaking out because my search engine traffic is almost the same as other site referrals traffic...lol
A month into my PHP site i was getting 80% of the traffic from google and rest from websitebabble. Then i started submitting my links to digg, dzone along with other closely related tutorial sites to PHP. Now, i get almost 40% of my traffic from referring sites. Thanks to these community based tutorial sites otherwise i wouldn't know how to build back links. I would have wasted 100s of dollars getting inbound links from paid directories. (Lisa what did you do to built inbound links to stomach exercise site besides writing ezine articles?).
I'm still getting the same traffic from google as i was getting a month ago (maybe a little more now) but my other traffic has gone up from 10% to almost 40%.
But i believe that maintaining and increasing you search engine traffic is more important than other referring traffic. To maintain your other referring traffic you need to keep building back links to get more traffic. With my niche it was easy for me to do so. I can submit my links to free tutorial sites. But my non-se traffic doesn't stay the same. I have to keep submitting my links to more and more tutorial sites to maintain the traffic.
I would also like to know how can someone with a topic such as what attackdepression has can build inbound links? Because inbound links will not only increase your non-se traffic but will also increase your SE traffic.
