Three types of traffic (visitors) 1. Direct traffic (an internet user types the website's URL
directly into the browser)
2. Referral traffic (an internet user clicks on a link to the site from another site)
3. Search traffic (an internet user clicks on a link to the site from a search engine results page --
though this can technically be considered referral traffic, search traffic and referral traffic differ
from one another in many ways and so are considered separately)
Direct Traffic Most websites earn little; comes from either offline advertising activities or
from habit. Type the URL directly into their browser's address bar.
Referral Traffic categorized by paid and unpaid.
Paid Referral Traffic banner, text, or rich media ads that a website has paid to display on
other websites
Unpaid Referral Traffic any visitors that come to the website from any links that are not
paid for
EX: Hyperlinking words in an article to go to an external website
