I don’t actually agree that 50-70% of traffic should come from search engines. There is no “rule” you can apply regarding search traffic and it’s silly to do so.

I have some sites that 90% is search traffic but if I did more offline marketing then for sure that ratio would change.

Do you include cross-links to them in the pages people are visiting most frequently? Do your important pages perform well in the SEs?
