How do you get the "real" organic traffic from direct traffic?

I hope you guys have some ideas on how to extract the "real" organic traffic from direct.

Thanks in advance!

I agree with Andy.

However, you could look at new visitors vs returning visitors within direct traffic. Typically returning visitors are coming back DIRECTLY to your site and new visitors (assuming they didn't see an advertisement elsewhere) aren't coming DIRECTLY to your site.

That's my best approach; if I see a large number of new visitors, (assuming not a large ad just ran), then I can assume fairly reasonably that those are long tail keyword search terms.

Not unless your willing to de-index your site from the search engines.

You could look at deep pages where people have landed on, as they are less likely to have typed in that url, especially if its quite long, but this isn't 100% accurate, but for pages like your homepage you would have to de-index your site.
