Interesting data Dan – I have seen similar reports from AddThis which we use for sharing on the channel shared by, but this is new in that it shows how shares contribute to site visits – 31% is higher than I’d expect and 10% of all traffic is amazing – have to wait to see the full report to understand how it can be this high.

Although you say Facebook is highest, I think there’s a different story which is how important social bookmarking and email are for sharing > 50% overall – these are often neglected these days on sites as everyone chases the Likes, Follows and +1s.
