Search engines and directories can be influenced by search engine optimisation. Google, MSN and Yahoo account for 90% of all Internet searches. We optimise with Google in mind as they have the lion's share of search in the UK. In July 2007 UK web users clicked on over 1.3bn search results, which equates to 29,000 every minute.

PPC or SEO?
Actually, both! PPC and SEO mesh together perfectly. PPC is a great short term solution, although it will get expensive to rely on this long term. SEO takes a while to get going but then is a very efficient source of marketing and is the best longer term solution. Sometimes PPC can be used longer term to top up SEO in certain areas, but customers should not look to rely solely on AdWords. As the diagram below shows, they mesh beautifully together. PPC is perfect for creating short term traffic and as the SEO starts having an effect, customers can reduce their spend on PPC giving an efficient mix of online marketing.

An eye-tracking study by Dutch market research firm shows people who search with a view to buying looked at more results than those who merely searched for information, of these:
1. Organic results were viewed most often – 98% of people looked at the organic results, while only 95% of people looked at the sponsored results. This indicates there are some people who ignore the sponsored listings.
2. On average, 9 search results combining organic and sponsored results were viewed before the first click. The average number of organic results viewed was 6 and 3 for the sponsored links.
3. On average, consumers spent 10.4 seconds on a page to view the search results. Organic results were viewed 8.8 seconds on average. The sponsored results at the top and on the right attracted less attention, and were viewed for 2.2 seconds respectively.
