View distribution - page one Google

[Mollema]

Let´s face this example:

Google Keyword tool tells me that there are 100 exact searches for a particular keyword. How much of them are actually visiting the number one spot on the first page for that keyword? How much on the second spot? Third spot? etc.

When I look at my own Google search behaviour, I don´t visit the last spots on the first page very often.. This would mean that these spots are useless to be at for searchers like me. I know it also depends on the difference between 100 and 10,000 exact searches for a keyword.. and people that are searching differently.

So 100/30 is about 3 - 4 searches a day. Will websites on the fifth spot and further pick up any of them?


I hope someone can tell me what the general statistics are.

Thank you very much

about 40% to the first link..and less for links there after..

100 searches is pretty low to begin with. You'd need a 50% conversion rate to make a sale (get a click or similar). But the rule of thumbs is yeah - 40-50% for #1 spot.

Thanks for the replies. I can do something with this information


I am not very experienced, so I want to test things before I start ranking for the big ones
