In my case it depends on how much these results are satisfying. If in my opinion the first are not what I am looking for I just move down to next results. Sometimes I even drop the first page und have a look at the second page. But further I normaly don´t go. I can only speak for myself. In my case it depends on how much these results are satisfying.

At one time people would click through search results to the second page and even on to the third. Today, not so much. A study by Cornell University found that the top three Google results got 79% of all clicks, a staggering amount. This corroborated an eyetracking study by Think Eyetracking which showed that compared with 2005, users search habits are predominantly impatient.

If you are not in the top 3, you are losing most of the traffic for that keyword. The exception is if you have a captivating title and description that can catch a visitors eye quickly.

Anybody remember, go.com? I think that was the name. 100% advertising driven web search. Google is about 3 years away from that, so whoever has the biggest wallet will influence Google the most. Kinda the same way politics works today. Isn’t it wonderful now that Google throws advertisement links up in those first 3 positions for all it’s users. Anybody remember, go.com?
