Why don't you go Google yourself?

It's funny when a noun like Google becomes a verb.

It almost sounds derogatory..."go Google yourself".

But Googling has become synonymous with searching on the internet.

It's no wonder, based on the most recent stats I could find (dated December 2010), that people conducted 34,000 searches on Google per second

- that's 2 million searches per minute
- 121 million per hour
- 3 billion per day
- or 88 billion per month

Yes people use the internet. They use it a lot. And yes people use Google...over 75% of the time when they do a search on the net.


So when you go Google yourself, what do you find?

Is your business showing up "above the fold" (on the first screen of results without having to scroll down)?

If you show up above the fold, chances are that you're in the top 5 or 6 positions for that search term.

According to Neil Walker in his article dated May 11, 2010, the rate of customers that "click-through" or CTR to your website is:

• 46.37% if you show up in 1st position,
• 29.43% in 2nd
• 19.81% in 3rd
• and progressively lower until the 10th position (still on the 1st page) receives a CTR of only 7.14%

And that is why Victoria Search Engine Optimization is so important.

If you can move your business from 3rd place to 1st, you could receive 2.3 times more customers.

Think about that for one second.

With a Victoria internet marketing plan, you could more than double the visitors to your website.

Can you think of another form of promotion giving you this kind of Return on Investment?
