I try to track my traffic from as many sources as I can, these are two of mine for the last week:

Google Analytics has it a little differently:

I never really look at this stuff, because I dont know what I would DO with the info.
But, for the heck of it....
41.7% Direct
39.8% Google
12.4% Referring Sites
4.9% Yahoo!
0.8% AOL
Also, Ive never seen what is meant by "direct". Also, I think its saying the % are for the last 120 days, so they are not going to change much, even if we make a significant change to something... it will take a lot of time to see a change, when its counting the past 6 months.
Google analytics would be better to use, for that reason. But, I almost enver look at that either... again, I dont know what I would DO with the info.
My top refering sites
202 http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Children's/Girls/ Free Directory to submit to.
146 http://www.forum.littleone.ru/showthread.php?t=466212 APPARENTLY, a CUSTOMER put me on a list of good stores to deal with on a russian forum 
141 http://www.bestofhorses.com A FREE DIRECTORY I SUBMITTED TO
113 http://www.herecomesthestork.com/forums Another forum I belong to
110 http://search.live.com/results.aspx? Live is now Bing
88 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?
80 http://www.stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url= I Stumbled upon myself in the very begining
62 http://www.herecomesthestork.com/forums/ That forum again
58 http://buyitsellit.gotop100.com/out.php?id=104 A top 100 list a BISI member started
48 http://www.stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url=http%3A%2F I stumbled a particular product of mine (or someone else did!)
NO IDEA if Ive ever gotten any SALES from those views though. So, its intersting, but Im not sure its all that useful. I stopped including a link to my store in my signature when posting anywhere, so the forums would not show up a ton of times. Instead, I just post the link when Im wanting people to take a look at something.

Agree with Cindy, while interesting ( I suppose ). I don't need or use it. Same with countries, since I only ship within the USA on my stores.

This is my dashboard but I really never look at mine either! I pay closer attention to GA because of the breakdown of referring sites.
62.1% Google
25.5% Direct
11.7% Referring Sites
0.6% Yahoo!
0.1% AOL

| As others have mentioned, not sure about the accuracy so I rely more on Google Analytics. At a quick glance seems that a lot are close to others. I don't know if that is good or bad though. Top Sources | 65.2% | Direct | | 26.1% | Google | | 8% | Referring Sites | | 0.5% | Yahoo! | | 0.2% | AOL |
