Over 50% suggested views?

Posting Mad!
For the past month 53% of my views come from suggested video (side bar or at end of other videos), is this normal? 21% is from search, and the rest other areas, subscriber watch list, etc. Is this good, should I be happy my videos are showing up as suggested? What are your big traffic sources on Youtube?
 
My suggested video is at 55%
I think that happens more to the popular videos. I have a couple videos that have over 100,000 views, and those are the ones that are suggested most often. I think when people are sharing, liking, and watch a decent amount of time instead of clicking right away, that that happens. I have over 250 videos, and I think 5 are on the suggested list. That appears when some one is watching similar videos. (They don't have to be extremely popular in genres where there isn't a huge amount of that type of video)
I think they use titles and tags similar to the ones in the video you are watching

ETA: If someone clicked on your video, most often they will suggest more of your videos on the side bar. So in that case they don't have to be popular at all[DOUBLEPOST=1424564529,1424564188][/DOUBLEPOST]
How can I make this possible for my videos?
Tamba, when I clicked on your video We going to the ship, it suggested Shine shine on the side bar. Those are suggested videos. The more people that click on those suggested that are yours the higher that percentage we are talking about will be :)[DOUBLEPOST=1424564700][/DOUBLEPOST]

I do think it is good by the way. I think most probably come from the side bar, or suggestoins after your own video. It means they liked you enough to click on another video you made :)
 
The most of my traffic, (40%) comes from the Youtube search bar. I guess it's different for everyone.
 
Yes, you should be glad that your videos are showing up as being suggested on other videos! Actually, you should be ecstatic!

Here's my Last 28 days stats
YouTube suggested video 64%
YouTube Guide 12%
YouTube Search 9%
 
When my videos started popping up in suggested videos, I got really excited. I dunno, to me it felt like I was becoming part of the real youtuber community. Haha, so if you ask me it's a good thing.
 
15% suggested video here. I wished I would have had your 53%. That means you get viewers outside your "regular viewers" pool, which is nice.
