I think 60% come from search and 40% from refferals, direct traffic etc.

I am sure you know your percentage, Funny, but others’ mileage may vary. As stated in my post, I don’t think this metric is the one to focus on.

speaking in terms of effective marketing the majority of your visitors should be ‘direct’ (long term) otherwise in my opinion referrals and SE have to be good amounts.
