I agree, getting the number one position in search engines can make a difference when it comes to traffic. Chances are, the visitors will automatically click the first site that they will see in the result.

Thanks for the article, it was very useful to see it presented like this, I think it is very important to use this to really calculate the traffic you can get to your site for all the keywords.

Cheers

Thanks very much – I’ve been looking out for this kind of info for ages. I guess it more or less confirms what we’ve all suspected, but it’s nice to see it quantified. Really good article!

Yes indeed my friends and fellow affiliators.
m sure we have all been there running our Google ads trying hard to slot in the top 3 watching the money drain out of your account when you think Gee? I had over 30,000 impressions but only 150 clicks and out of that no one brought a thing??
Well this info is important but by crikey its too darn expensive because we all compete against each other by raising our PPC rates to try to get that top spot. There is nothing wrong with the adwords concept but there is much more you need to know inorder to get the sales and its all about traffic. How do you get your traffic to your site?

We have been gradually climbing up the rankings for our targeted keywords and I can vouch for the fact that there is a big difference in traffic between ranking #1 versus #2. I thought it would be more like double rather than 4x, but there you go.

Now I just hope it’s true what they say about it being harder to get there, than to stay there!

As a heavy user of PPC for advertising, this is very interesting & useful. The best part was learning how page 2 on a heavily trafficked keyword can still be very valuable, thus saving you money in the long run.

Thanks for posting this!
