Update:

Reason: Feels it is necessary
Hi
Good that you brought this topic up. My main sources of traffic are: Indibloggger, facebook, twitter and google search engine.
One important thing that I want to say here is that bloggers who visit others blog can promote others blog if they like it by tweeting the blog or sharing it on facebook. This brings in huge traffic. Many people can discover good blogs and the blog owners can earn loyal readers. In western countries especially in US, the bloggers have a mechanism to promote each others blog. If you watch carefully many western blogs with mediocre content also gets lot of tweets and facebook shares inturn earning them huge traffic. But the fact remains that only good blogs retain the readers on the other hand it is also a fact the blog - good/bad gets discoverd by potential readers.
i am sure the extra 'g' in "indibloggger" is extra respect for #indiblogger :P Am I right Antony? :P

Hey Naveen,
You may have removed the analytics code when you changed your template. Insert the code given in analytics in the html code of your template, and you will see your traffic logged.
Thanks Naveen I installed Alexa Tool Bar in my Google Chrome browser. My Alexa Rank is 423073 and Google PR is 2. How good / bad is this?!
Suraj78 You have awesome numbers Dear! How do you make them happen!! Great Job.

Suraj78 How you cut and paste picture in this window. When I copy the pic and try to paste it does not work.
Thanks for appreciation Sir! :) It will not work if you try to copy paste if will not work.
When you open analytics stat click on the button 'Print Screen' (right to the F12) and then open 'Paint' and copy via mouse or Ctr+V it will be their then you can crop it as u want and save it any format u want :) I hope it will work.
Thanks!

Direct - 17.07%
Google.co.in (Referral)-5.05%
Google.com (Referral)- 2.62%
Indiblogger (Referral)-1. 78%
What is this - organic - thing?
Hey, thanks sujith, now i am using that thing! invisible browsing!
Organic means traffic from Search engines because of the relevance of search terms
Naveen, Now you can access the blocked sites ?
With your kind of LOFTY content Sowmya, you are bound to attract plenty of traffic google or otherwise. Excellent sites and I am an avid reader of Gitaaonline as well as Mantra on line. Kudos.
i think the most important thing to attract traffic is to have a blog that covers topics of general interest.Suraj's website has universal appeal that is why he is so successful.
Would like to know if there are any websites to register for free, which the general public sees when they want to find blogs of interest
If one is using adsense on his blog, then he should concentrate on getting the most visits from search engines only to get most of the benefit of clicks.....
My blog TheFundu gets about 50% visit from search engines, 35 % from refering and rest 15% directly....
