hi,
thank you for this article but I do not agree with you. I have a site show up at the third page and it hardly get some visitors from google although it is very searchable keyword. I think more than 90% do not check the 3rd page

These really are amazing stats. Just shows the importance of keyword research. Making sure that you are building pages into your website that have a purpose. i.e. check the demand before you give the supply!

I agree with the last poster, it does seem like the little guy is getting pushed out and the only way to fight back is with the longer tail keyworkds but you have to wonder how long this will work for the small guy too.

Money spend on this area is one thing giving the big guys the advantage but fact older sites rank better also adds to this.

You research with regards to what people view/do online is interesting because it reflects exactly how I would view search results

The problem is that it’s getting hard to rank on SEO because people are spending wayy too much money on putting their word out on other sites and while Google doesn’t allow this, it works like a charm. For people like me who are only into building free links, it’s getting difficult to survive!

As the potential reward for top rankings increases, so will the demand in the increasingly-competitive field of SEO. This news should come as welcome to top SEO professionals, as it seems the barriers-to-entry are increasing from the standpoint of end-results.

If I have the math right on this: 41+17+7=65% of searchers limit their investigation to the first three pages of results. So that means…35% will look at four or more pages? That seems high, but it’s good news for smaller sites trying to get attention on competitive key phrases.

6 months back I used to rank 40 for a very competitive keyword in Google and I used to receive roughly around 1000 Hits from Google. I optimized my site, did some link buildng and today I rank 12 for that same keyword and I’ve seen a significant rise in traffic from Google.

From what I’ve experienced it is very important to come up in the first 3 pages of the search results.
