How Many "Non Search Engine" Hits Does Your Blog Get a Day?

Without Ask, Bing, Yahoo, and Google, how many non-search engine hits does your blog receive per day?

Most likely, this would be traffic coming from traffic exchanges or blogging communities.

What's your percentage? 50/50? 80/20?

Can your blog survive if you are not ranked well in certain high-traffic keywords on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Ask?

In the past 7 days, only 15% of my visitors came from search engines. Maybe that means I am doing something wrong?

I visited your blog. Your blog does not appear to confine itself to a tightly-targeted niche/category or specific set of keywords.

So, a lower % of search engine traffic is understandable.

Some interesting posts though.

My guess-I don't know how to calculate it-would be 100%. I don't believe I get any SEO traffic.

  Hi,
  
  I'm sure you are utilizing some tool that monitors your traffic? From that tool you can evaluate the URL they were referred from to access your blog.
  
  On Alexa, it is not showing any recent search engine traffic for you. You easily could have received search engine traffic from visitors who did not have the Alexa toolbar installed. So, nothing to be too alarmed about.
