Most Search Engine Users Stop at Page 3
ambient12 writes "The BBC reports on a study saying that, despite the depth of content internet search providers offer, most people stop at page 3 or earlier." From the article: "It also found that a third of users linked companies in the first page of results with top brands. The study surveyed 2,369 people from a US online consumer panel. It also found 62% of those surveyed clicked on a result on the first page, up from 48% in 2002. Some 90% of consumers clicked on a link in these pages, up from 81% in 2002. "
If it's not on the first page of Google, it doesn't exist.
Isn't that where the hot chick is?
Modern copyright is theft of culture from everyone and it retards the progress of the useful arts and sciences.
Welcome to Slashdot!
I couldn't stop laughing when I read that headline... I hadn't looked at Page3.com for a long time, but definitly a good place to stop.
Lets rephrase this Title a bit to give a better picture of what is really being said.
Most Search Engine Users Stop after the first 60 hits
3 pages seems a lot smaller than 30 hits, but most search engines return around 20 hits per page. Another case of fun with numbers being used to dress up a non-article.
My inner self is ineffable, so don't eff with me.
