Search Engine Results & Most/Least Clicked Position

[DEVELISH]

Hi y'all

I'd like to pick your brains a little...

I was thinking about the SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages) and was wondering what in your opinion is the most clicked position on a 10 item result page? What is the order of importance thereafter? Linear, reverse, mixed, chaotic?

Is it 1, 2, 3....10?
or 1, 3, 5, 7, 9...?
or 1,2,3,10,9,4,5,6,7,8?

And what do you think is the order of most valuable positions on page 2?

check out some eye tracking studies floating around the interwebs for free

from memory, most clicked are the top 3 ads on top of the page, top 2-3 results under them, or whatever is there and then the longer you go down the fewer the clicks

do you think that mainstream and porn searches "behave" different if we would use eye tracking for a porn related search? if not... why? if so, why?

I found, that several of my sites got MORE traffic on 1st page, pos 10 compared to 2nd page pos 1. Then when it moved to 1st page pos 9, traffic plummeted.
