For my oldest blog, it's become Google, other blog referrers, and forums.

For my new blog, it's my older blog and BC. It hasn't made friends with Google yet.

By the way guys,
Do you think stumbleupon gives quality traffic ???

  No BUT with all the volume, hopefully a few will come back. The reason I say the traffic quality isn't very good is if you dig into your stats and see how many pages each SU visitor visits--normally its 0 or very minimal. You're looking for visitors that visit a lot of pages other than the page SU sends them.

BC and google bring the most traffic for me. As far as Alexa rankings, I don't pay it no mind.

Google, referrals from other sites, Ask dot come and last the long string of other weird search engines. That is my personal blog for the Darfur blog it's google. For Should be Famous, I don't think I've ever checked.
I rarely use stumble and no I don't think they give sustainable traffic though if I rememeber I will stumble something I like. I've seen occasions where I'll get a ton of stumbles, but I doubt it translates into traffic.

StumbleUpon has given me the most dramatic traffic spikes, but it's not sustainable. It only lasts a few hours at best. But those few hours see more page views than a whole week does.

Google AdWords provides the most consistent, albeit minimal, traffic for me.

Stumble. I suddenly got 110 more visits the other day then I've ever gotten before. Which is saying something. I've got a new blog, and don't get masses of visitors (yet).

Most comes from google, my own website (separate from my blog), cafe mom, and other book blogs where I can link my reviews. Very little to none comes from BC.

I get half my hits from organic google searches. I do a fair bit of SEO professionally, so I've put it to use on my blog as well for practice. After that, I get a lot of hits from a couple of links in wikipedia articles.

A large percentage of mine come from Blogger.com. I don't get many hits from Google or Stumble, unlike a majority of people here it seems.

Well it depends on which blog, but I tend to see the most traffic from either google or Forum posts I have made.
Still quite new at all this though, so I am sure that it will change over time, working on my communities like digg and blog catalog so time will tell huh

I get the most traffic on my surf blog: your-local-surf.blogspot.com

  I have a lot of surfing photos on my blog too. We have a place on the beach at Virginia Beach.
  
  Here is a photo of a surfer I took when my wife was looking the other way.

  Lately I have been signing up with surfing forums. Other forums too. They do send traffic. No doubt about it.

So I keep seeing this Entrecard cited as a good source of traffic and set up an account over there. Seems kind of spammy, but I figure I'll give it a couple of days to see if it generates quality traffic (I doubt it).

  Entrecard gives a lot of traffic but most of them are bounced traffic. But there are bloggers who found your blog interesting and keeps coming to read and to drop.
  
  If you put your URL in your card, you will get the most from it, because most of the people will not click on the card but will check the URL later.

What's an Alexa rank?

[reply]

  Alexa is a search engine by Amazon.com and it is important just after google. It ranks by top sites and traffic. The highest ranked site has the low number. Yahoo has alexa rank 1 and google was 2 but now in 4th position. Being in the top 500,000 and in top 100,000 comes with great privilages.
  
  Many people dont care in alexa rank, but for a blog, rank does matter.

Entrecard brings me the most traffic, although recently I've been getting more direct traffic.

Most of my traffic WAS from google. For years I've been able to get top rankings - it's no art from, it's methodical and easy to repeat.

But I've branched out, and now I get a nice wide footprint of traffic from a range of video sharing sites, podcast sites, blogs, communities, social bookmarking and social networking sites.

Most of my search traffic is from google, and I'm guilty of ignoring the others.

But, my only PROFITABLE traffic comes from a completely different source.

...that I disclose in the April issue of the Internet Guru Watch Podcast ;-)

I recently signed up with Entrecard. The first few days I got some traffic. And then I looked on Google analytics. The visits were not up to par in length with my other traffic sources. Because they averaged about one second apiece.

In February it was Stumble, but last month Google got the nod.

I'm thinking of trying this entrecard thing if it's worth it.
