Traffic report

Hmmm... How interesting. Much of my job consists of interpreting data. This data from BlogPatrol has many interpretations:

More bookmarks than my top three referrers, excluding search engines, but with Google searches completely dominating all else.

I don't refer to other bloggers except when their posts intrigue me or say something truly thought provoking, and I haven't focused on improving my traffic through other means. I wonder, is my writing not that interesting to others or is playing the linkback game better for traffic than quality alone (assuming what I write is "quality", which I doubt a lot of the time)?
