That said, the primary methodology for all users to reach any individual website destination is still search, of either paid or organic listings.

I don't know about that. I've had around 10.000 visitors to my blog in the last few days. No paid search, and around 10 referrers from Google search. The rest from social news sites, twitter, bookmark sites and other places that have nothing to do with Google.

That's a healthy traffic balance. Contrast that with sites that depend for 90% or more on google for their income.

It's a spike, I'm not sure that was implicit in the post. I only get that kind of traffic when I get myself together and actually post something, which isn't that often.
