Sources Of Visitor

There are four sources of visitor to a websiteSources Of Visitor

A website can only have four source groups of visitor. These include, Pay Per Click visitors, Organic or Natural visitors, Referral visitors and Direct Entry URL visitors. Your Internet Strategy should include an action plan for each of these visitors source types. Each one operates in a different manner and requires a unique activity to generate visitors to your website. Conversion rates can also vary significantly between each of the four source types with repeat customers (Direct URL) often providing the highest ratio to sale/enquiry.


  • 1 - Organic search engine visitors
  • 2 - Pay per click search engine visitors
  • 3 - Referral visitors from third party websites
  • 4 - Direct entry visitors using your website URL (Unique Resource Locator)

In the early days of a young website the pay per click traffic source can be high as a percentage of total visitors. Over time this would reduce as natural visitors and referral traffic gain a foothold.
