I suppose, given that this is a essentially professional blog, I should not be surprised that LinkedIn dominates traffic for me, dwarfing even the mighty Google and Twitter (incidentally Facebook was in 13th place, below Microsoft – a verdict of “could do better”, but then Facebook is only semi-pro for me).
It is also worth noting that traffic from all WordPress blogs (not included in the 4% WordPress figure above) amounted to 3% of traffic. Adding in all other non-corporate blogs got this to 5% and notional 4th place).
It is also notable that StumbleUpon outdid all other social bookmarking sites, with Reddit next in a lowly 23rd place.
Some selected top threes…
Please note that the only criteria here is quantum of traffic.

I should point out that the figures presented above are all-time, rather than say the last six months. It would be interesting to do some trending, but this is a bit more clunky to achieve than one might expect.
Hi Peter. It is always interesting to see other people’s statistics. My stats seems to be very similar as told in the post Referrers .
As discussed with other bloggers in the post it seems though that Twitter is better than what’s it counted for.
Hi Henrik,
Took a look at your post and the pattern seems very similar. Although the WordPress aggregation is OK (and vastly better than before), I still had to – for example – manually aggregate google.com, google.co.uk, google.in etc. Although you could argue that domain.co.uk and domain.com could be vastly different organisations, it would be useful to have the option to just have a count for domain.* as well.
