I'm not sure how often everyday visitors navigate to lesswrong.com, as if they're typing in a webaddress. I have all/recentposts saved as a bookmark, and that's all I ever start out at.

24% of traffic to the front page is new visitors; 76% is returning visitors.
Overall site traffic is 51% new visitors.

Excluding post pages, landing page traffic looks like:

So this counts traffic that visits a given page as its first only? Maybe you could explain what the technical definitions of "landing page", "visit", and "new visit" are in the context of this comment.
