A search is aContinue reading “Key Concept Number 1: “Websites don’t rank, only pages – URL’s – do.”
Ranking Position and Traffic Volume
In nearly all searches – though there are some exceptions – the #1 top listing gets the greatest percentage of clicks. How much? As much as half, or 50% – sometimes more. Positions #2 and #3 generally split the next 25%. In other words, the Top 3 listings will get 75% of the traffic! TheContinue reading “Ranking Position and Traffic Volume”
