What’s happening on Google’s second page?
If you ever need to hide a dead body – use the second page in Google’s search result, no one will ever find it! Page 2 is where the forgotten content and websites go to die.
The average web user never goes past the top 5 listings on a search result, more than 70% of all clicks goes to these top 5 results. And that doesn’t include the paid results we find at the top of the page. Scrolling down rarely happens, with a 5% change that users will choose “next page” when Googling something.
Why does this matter?
As soon as a search result gains the attention of a user, they will most likely open the website and click/browse through it in order the get more information, or take some kind of action. Most users will click on one of the top ranking search results because:
- They have found what they were looking for
- Don’t want to scroll any further
- Have limited time
