@Jim_AnsonAug 07.2014 — I think organic and direct traffic are one in the same as SEO.

@WebDesignPhxAug 08.2014 — Organic traffic is when you are found on a Search engine.

Direct traffic is when someone types in your website URL in the web address of the browser.

They are not the same. 2 different things entirely.

@tswsmAug 08.2014 — organic traffic generated through the SERP by searching a particular keyword phrase.

whereas, a direct traffic means visitors know your website and visiting your website directly by typing your URL in the browser.

@steve_dswtplAug 08.2014 — At some points organic traffic and direct traffic are same. But organic traffic generates from search engine and direct traffic generates directly for your site only.

@avowzoneAug 08.2014 — When any visitors come from direct search engine is called organic traffic.

When any visitors come from another site is called referral traffic.

When any visitors come from social media site is called social traffic.

When any visitors come from email link or direct URL in browser is called direct traffic.

Organic traffic is the best of all and it has a great value in Google. Currently my blog is getting more than 62% organic traffic according to Google analytic. You also can increase your organic traffic easily following bellow trick.

@Honey497Aug 09.2014 — Organic traffic is a traffic which you are getting from search engine and other websites without paying for it.

Direct traffic is a traffic which you are getting from the users which type your URL of your website on their browser address bar for opening it.
