Top Position in Google Search? Still You Need to Spend Money On AdWords!

Google is covering almost 90 percent of the total internet search market in the world (70% for desktop and 92% for tabs and mobiles- May, 2016 by Net marketshare). Therefore, it’s a really good thing that your business appearing on the top of the Google Search results for your targeted keywords. That also means that your SEO campaign is successfully sending a higher number of organic traffic to your business than your competitors.

Now, according to the SEO’s point of view, your marketing strategy is correct till this point. But, if your main intention is to get the maximum number of organic traffic to your business as a Google search engine topper (of your targeted key words) then you really need a modification into your marketing strategy.

Here you might think that- why you need to modify your marketing strategy while you’re in the top position of the natural Google search results for your targeted keywords? Well, most of the online marketer thinks like you, and they believes that they’re generating the maximum amount of organic traffic by sitting on the first chair of the Google search results. But, practically it’s not true! Google is not sending the number of organic traffic to your business which you’re really capable for as an SEO topper. Let’s see why-

Why Google No.1 Position Is Not Enough?


There are only two main reasons behind this. Which are-
  1. User Behavior on a webpage (Google search result page is also a webpage).
  2. Traffic share according to the search engine ranking.
Reason#1. According to an eye tracking study (2005), people view Google SERPs in a triangular format called “Golden Triangle”, which clearly indicates that the Google users mostly view the search results appearing on the top four to five positions on the result page (more clearly, users hates scrolling). Although the Google SERPs has made several changes during the last 10 years but, still users' behavior on the Google SERPs remain almost same. See the eye tracking heat maps-

Now, if you study on current Google search engine result page, then you can see that- Google sponsor links are shown on the top of the search results. And, this is really affecting the original organic search results visibility. Because, people don’t care about what ads is and what the original results are. They only mean a relevant topic. Suppose you are Googling “Cheap Flits” in India then probably a few ads will be shown before the main results. That is clearly indicating that a large group of busy searchers is going to neglect the main results and going to stay with one of the relevant ads.

So, ultimately the original organic results are badly losing its natural visibility due to placement of Google’s search engine ads.

Reason#2. In the year 2013 an online advertising company Chitika has published an analysis based article on the topic “traffic distribution according to the Google search engine position’’. And, it’s giving us a few important data by which we can easily estimate the number of organic traffic getting by any website visible on the Google SERPs. Here is the list –

Chitika study about Google search result position value

Now, the point is- above figure is based on the positioning of the all search results from top to bottom. Not only for the original search results, but also including advertisements. Here you should remember one thing that, traffic distribution will happen based on the visibility of the results, including ads which are currently showing on the top of the Google’s organic results. So, basically here a Google topper will receive 8.1% of traffic share instead of 32.5% according to the chart.

So now, if you want to get maximum traffic from the Google search engine as a search engine topper, then you also need to put an advertisement of your business in the Google AdWords to make visible your business in the Google search engine (for the relevant keywords) along with your natural organic placement. Otherwise, any xyz will eat your traffic flow by spending some money AdWords.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
