It is almost a mythical presence already: Being on the first page of Google (similarly for other search engines, though) is the everlasting dream of many website owners. We’ve heard it in every corner, it is deeply buried in our brains, it has an inevitable stamp of FREE marked on its understanding, obsessed friends whisper it our ears, our bosses make it a job requirement for marketing positions: the first page of Google is the Web Promised Land, the El Dorado of online business and the Holy Grail of Online Marketing Managers and the World Cup for SEO specialists.
Well, all this view seems to be pretty well grounded. These visions of the promised performance are well anchored in some numbers, are tightly fastened by some threads of data.
Take a look below and get a new boost of motivation for getting your web pages on the first page of Google.
Putting together three sets of data, Jacob Stoops produces the following numbers of click performance for the first page SERP in some search engines:
- Position 1: 45.46% of all clicks
- Position 2: 15.69% of all clicks
- Position 3: 10.09% of all clicks
- Position 4: 5.49% of all clicks
- Position 5: 5.00% of all clicks
- Position 6: 3.94% of all clicks
- Position 7: 2.51% of all clicks
- Position 8: 2.94% of all clicks
- Position 9: 1.97% of all clicks
- Position 10: 2.71% of all clicks
(See all the data and the analysis here.)
The conclusion is mind blowing:
More thant 95% of all clicks occur on the first page of search engines!
So, where are your web pages in SERP for your most important keywords?
