There are 5 main types of traffic sources, including:
Direct – visitors that land on your site either by typing in the URL directly into their search bar or by clicking on a bookmark they have saved to get directly to your site
Organic – visitors who arrive at your site via a search engine. In my experience with clients, Google is almost always the most popular organic search engine, and usually monopolizes around 90% of search users
Paid – visitors that land on your site because of paid advertisements such as banner ads or Google AdWords
Referral – traffic brought to your site by your “referral network,” which are any partners who link your website on their own websites
Social – users who land on your site through social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram
