Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advise.
You’ve all heard it before, a top 10 listing on the search engines is vital because 48 per cent of users don’t look past the first page!
Guess what? - It’s much worse!
A new report out suggests internet users are getting more impatient, and now a whopping 68 per cent of users make their choice from the top 10!
The study, tabled by Yahoo!, iProspect and JupiterResearch, paints a dark picture for website owners who are siting below the top 10 results! Theoretically, they are only exposing their sites to 32% of searchers by sitting off the first page.
Can you believe that 23% of searchers change their query or switch search engines if they don’t find what they’re looking for in the first few results? So Top 3 is where you really “need” to be.

Fortunately, that can only be good news for me, as my Horror Thriller website is in the top five of every major search engine out there.
What’s more, even my sections are important enough to be in the top five of their categories as well!
The only thing I have done to get there is to pay strict attention to exactly what the various major search engines suggested doing. That and my many visitors, for which I’m grateful.
Do a search on Horror Thriller, that’s me at the top.
