\"Top<\/a>I stumbled upon a resource in the net regarding the hit \/ click statistics of the top 10 search results of a search engine results page and figured you guys might want to catch a glimpse of this information – perhaps for future presentation use or whatnot.<\/p>\n

I found the resource at Jim Boykin’s Blog<\/a> (special thanks to you buddy). He used the leaked AOL search data to figure out click through rates for the the top 10 positions in search results. I’m reposting it for your convenience here just for information purposes.<\/p>\n

So as you can see, anything else other than first place shouldn’t be your goal. Every SEO should be fighting for first page, first place not anything less. Other SEO Oil snakes will even\u00a0 give you as far as second page guarantees – screw them. SEO is an all or nothing game. Don’t settle for less – get to the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
