The vast majority of internet users find a website by using one of the 3 major search engines – Google, Bing or Yahoo. If your website doesn’t appear on the first page (or even worse, at all) you are missing out on literally millions of customers.

Most users don’t go past the first page of Google!

If you look at data collected from the following 3 samples of users clicking habits the results provide some remarkable statistics.
