Play By The Numbers: The Google Numbers

I'm a numbers freak I love them! Stats and such! I have a newsletter I get with some good seo advice and some crap, but overall good stuff.

They sent me this tidbit thought I'd share!


Did you know that 42.13% of visitors click on the #1 spot on Google
search results?

Isn't that staggering?
11.90% click on #2
8.5% on #3.
This reduces in increments all the way down to only 2.85% clicking on #9. The difference can be as dramatic as having 1,000,000 clicks on #1 and
only 147,800 on #9.

Just thought I'd share!

i wonder what the click rate comparison is for the sponsor paid listings above the #1 result. I am guessing way lower, as personally I almost always avoid them to the extent I will go pages into a search and still not bother clicking them.

25%-30% click on the sponsored links.

My boyfriend is almost the exact opposite as all he mainly clicks are those for most searches.
