Google/organic refers to organic search traffic. I believe that google/referral refers to things like people clicking through from Google Reader.

What are the top ten sources of your traffic?

Wow, that's really impressive to have Pinterest up that high. I just followed you…I didn't even realize you had a page there!

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it but a few people with a lot of followers must have really liked this pin "10 Ways to Trim your budget" and now it has been re-pinned over 700 times. I just checked and in the past 30 days I have had 792 visitors from Pinterest and most of them are because of that one pin.

I haven't done as much guest posting or carnival submissions as I should. Mostly it comes from commenting. There are about a dozen and a half blogs I follow regularly plus a handful of posts from twitter each day. I do try to prioritize sites that have CommentLuv installed. If you have a post that I have a good comment for, I'm going to comment regardless (unless the blog uses Intense Debate or LiveFyre). Otherwise another day. But if you have CommentLuv, I will sit there and think of a good comment to leave.

I was just reading that Pinterest is currently referring more traffic than Gogle+, LinkedIn, and YouTube combined.

I just recently found out how to submit my posts on StumbleUpon through the Social Metrics plugin for Wordpress. In the past 7 days I have had 240 unique hits from Stumble upon. Who would have thought?

Have you written posts for Oregonlive.com? If not how are you getting traffic from their site? Thanks for chiming in!

Thanks, just installed this plugin and started stumbling! :)

That is awesome! Another thing that I like about the Social Metrics plugin is that it tells you how many times a post has been mentioned on Social Media like Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Etc. This way I can see what people are sharing and what they are not. It has been super helpful in this regards.
