Visualize web traffic by source

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)

Visualization Options:

  1. Bar Chart

    • X-axis: Traffic Sources

    • Y-axis: Number of Visitors

    • Use color coding to differentiate sources

  2. Pie Chart

    • Each slice represents the percentage of total traffic from each source

    • Ideal for showing overall distribution

  3. Stacked Area Chart (Over Time)

    • If you’re tracking data over weeks or months

    • Shows how traffic sources fluctuate over time

Would you like a chart generated based on your own data or an example graphic created from assumed numbers?
