I have been working on some keywords for the last couple months and I have got some of them to page 2. I know I need to get them on to page 1 for real results.

I was wondering if anyone knows what percentage (or a rough idea) of people searching on search engines who actually go on to the second page of results?

Try refreshing your content

No actual numbers, but I doubt few people venture onto page 2 unless the search was very broad and threw up lots of unrelated results.

Page 1 Top 3 should be your goal, with anywhere in the top 5 good for conversions.

According to this old report it's less than 2%

Thanks for the answers I'm going to work hard to try get my keywords onto the first page, to at least within the top 5.

Along with refreshing contents, try social media and social bookmarking sites too. They help you to rank up your keywords.

As said I think as long as you build some good content and put it out on the relevant websites overtime you will continue to move up within Google, Also remember you can look into other websites to see what they are doing which you might not be to give you that extra boost

Thanks,

Yahoo - 2.8%
Bing - 3.4 %

If you make let's say 10 links per day triple it by making 30. But I don't recommend using only one link to post on a few websites. Try to properly distribute a decent number of links in different websites. But make sure that you submit it with quality. Link building shouldn't be about making more actually, it's the quality of the content with just an additional benefit of making it quantitative.
