Traffic to your website means you are getting found by people who are looking for you. In this case, heavy traffic is GREAT! Now, where does all that traffic come from? There are at least four major highways leading to your website:
- Direct traffic - a searcher types your URL or name into their browser search bar
- Referral traffic- when someone clicks on a link to you found on another website
- Organic search- When your site link gets clicked on because it's toward the top of the search returns
- Social Referrals- When links to your site appear and spread on social media venues like Facebook or Twitter.
