If you're one of those individuals who discounts the importance of search engine optimization, you might want to rethink your position. Here's why:

A study of search user behavior in 2006 released by iProspect shows that 62% of search engine users selected a website from the first page of results. 28% of searchers clicked on results found on the second and third pages.

Those numbers are pretty compelling. Your thoughts?

I believe that search engine optimization is the foundation of any successful internet business. If it weren't, Aaron Wall wouldn't be worth $500/hr for his services.

I love organic search traffic because it is as targeted as possible. In fact, it's been responsible for nearly 89% of my various ecommerce and affiliate sales.

Being on the first page is extremely important, and being above the fold is even more important. This can be still be achieved in many niches with hard work, but you must be proactive!

just considering how much I use search engines in my personal life greatly encourages my respect for the importance of them.

I never respected search engines as much as now; never realized Search Engine Optimization and things like that until recently. internet Marketing is a whole new world and It's fun as hell to explore.

Being at the top is important. It is the step before having good sale. We get to have clients and customers who view our site and check our products and services.

how can people visit your website if they dont know about it?
that is why Search Engine Optimization is important. Advertising costs money. I know SEO does as well, but it is something you can learn, I have taught myself, and gain a couple of first page rankings.
