What do you think accounts for the bulk part of their traffic?

but its still search traffic, not direct (I bet most search traffic doesn’t stick, either)
Robert made it sounds like there is some magic way to double-boost traffic, when the guy on the podcast says something else..

Duncan, there was a lot more stuff done to the blog then just messing with meta tags. I did not go through everything in the interview due to time.
