To visualize web traffic by source, you can use a chart or graph that breaks down where your visitors are coming from. Here’s a straightforward example using a pie chart or bar chart with the most common traffic sources:
Common Web Traffic Sources:
-
Organic Search (e.g., Google, Bing)
-
Direct (typed URL or bookmarks)
-
Referral (links from other websites)
-
Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
-
Email (campaigns, newsletters)
-
Paid Search (Google Ads, Bing Ads)
-
Display Ads (banner/display campaigns)
-
Other (custom sources, campaigns)
Example Bar Chart Layout (Data Example)
