I do zero analytics on any of my web traffic, so this is just a guess, but I should be surprised if many people come to my sites via Google.
I am just a bloke with a Raspberry Pi running a website and two blogs.
I suspect that, of whatever traffic I get, most comes from links I (and others) post here, and from RSS subscribers.
Similarly, I don't think that I found any of the blogs or sites that I read regularly via a search engine.
Word of mouth (webrings, people posting about stuff they've enjoyed / their own work etc.) ftw.
