Direct address / Bookmarks ratio

comparing with you

[hamids54]

Percentage of traffic from search engine for my site is 4.1% but my site is growing double per year from 2004.as I know my SEO is low.I want to know do my users bookmark my site more than other site sor not?

what is yours? I got it from awstats
for me is 3.4%

[Sikhar]

yes it could be possible that users are personalized bookmarking or somebody stumble your site. mine is also good percentage because I keep going my SEO efforts.

Awstats is a log analyser. I would use a system that puts code on your page, otherwise all thespiders and robots start "counting" as users.

I think you are right . for this purpose that what is source of my traffic I look at google analaytics . it says

1- search engines 85%
2- direct 4.6%
3- others

what do u think about it ?

[Receptional]

Well the difference between 4.1 % from search engines according to Awstats and 85% from search engines according to Google Analytics just goes to show how useless logfiles are (assuming you gave the right numbers).

Either way, I think only 3.4% or 4.6% of your traffic coming direct (which includes bookmarks) is a bot lower than average, suggesting that your site is not building brand loyalty or a lot of returning traffic.

It is very hard to say, though, because different sites tend to interact with users very differently.

thank you

there are different factors as you said

1-I started my site april 2004 now it has 10k daily.it is not english

2- most of my users and my audiences use dial up.I mean they don`t have one IP always.every time they enter they have different IP.
