According to the report, “28% of merchants report more than 25% of their site traffic stems from paid search advertisements, while 51.5% say more than a 1/4 of their traffic comes from natural search.” And of course, Google is leading the way, with 90% of respondents’ search engine traffic coming from the overlord.
