With natural I mean if you NOT used PPC or Traffic exchanges and things like that I would call UN-natural.
Social bookmarking and social media like Twitter and Facebook plus search engine traffic is what I would call natural traffic, just as you say you used

The heading is kind of missing something, you could have some thumbnails or a banner beside the header name. And for the sub heading, I would remove that and put it in the sidebar instead, that would make more of the content visible for the visitor.

I like your content and the layout on the rest of the side, and you have some great content, it's also great that you have the RSS Feed and the Twitter-Follow at the top, and if you could move to the navigation on the right I think it would be even better, that way the content would come even further to the up.

I don't say this is the best way to do it, it's just how I think it would look best, I hope it gives you some ideas.

I had to rewrite the message, to many stupid writing mistakes that made it unclear.
