Thanks kposehn! But that is a little deceiving. Direct traffic makes up about 40% of the revenue. But about 1/2 of that is phone traffic that we get because we take phone orders via our site, which appears as direct.
So 20% is true direct traffic. But that other 20% of the total probably is originally sourced from other places (referral, search engines, etc) but they just close the deal over the phone with us.

One very important note for anyone looking to purchase this site: a huge portion of his traffic - and revenue! - is from direct visits (no search).
That is a fantastic asset to the site and makes it very sticky in the face of Google algorithm changes.

Even at 20%, that is still a Very Good Thing. I've seen a lot of ecommerce sites (10x or more in size) with far less direct traffic.
