Internal Traffic vs. Referral Links: What’s your actual conversion split?

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about how much we, as creators, actually rely on CGTrader's internal search algorithms versus our own external marketing efforts.

For those of you who actively get steady views and sales: what percentage of your traffic comes from the marketplace itself, and how much comes from your external referral links (like ArtStation, portfolio sites, or social media)?

Do you find that bringing your own traffic boosts your models in CGTrader’s organic search, or does the internal algorithm mostly care about its own tags and categories?

Would love to hear your experiences and see what works best for building account authority!
