Natural search engine referrals ranged from about 10% to over 40% and Google.com was the #1 or #2 referring domain for nearly every site. Alternatively if anyone is willing to share their figures publicly please leave a comment below. Thanks for your comments. It is interesting that Digg is trending down this year.

Total number of referring keywords – this is less insightful than it used to be due to the Google secure search “keyword not provided” issue, but it is still worth capturing this data.

My list of terms could have gone on endlessly but I decided to cap it at 75 100 (the list is growing based on suggestions in the comments). I enjoyed your comments. Moe’s comment mentioning “perfect storm&# reminded me of how this has also become a workhorse of imagination-lacking journalists. Good point.
