New data from a joint study with Jupiter Research suggests...

...62% of search engine users click on a search result within the first page of results, and a full 90% of users click on a result within the first three pages of search results. These figures were just 48% and 81%, respectively, in 2002.

...36% of search engine users believe that the companies whose websites are returned at the top of the search results are the top brands in their field.
