Google 96.66%... Imagine what not showing anymore in Google's SERPs would do to your trafic. My wife launched a site 2 months ago (publishing), and 96% comes from Google organic.
Everytthing coming from 1 search engine... How much more irrelevent can the other ones be?
Hi Jacques, it would kill my traffic and last year this did happen for a couple of weeks.
However it just shows that the type of user that comes to my site is probably a Techie or Search Marketing/Analytics professional (if you look at the Search Engine/Browser data together).
I am really starting to believe that Google has a lot more market share than what we see from comScore or Hitwise (especially in our Industry).
I will analyze the entire 2008 tomorrow to finish of the old year and start the new one with a booming start!
Really some great interesting stats you have here.
Although it's not a one year analyze I did a recent google analytics video where I analyze my blog and the conclusions I get from looking at the numbers.

Not surprised to see StumbleUpon near top of you list (StumbleUpon is great). Surprised, though, not to see Delicious on list?
Delicious was just outside of the top 10, 11 or 12 I believe.
