Editor's Notes
- #6 Google accounts for 65% of searches worldwide (not searchers, but searches)
- #7 US is similar – 66.9% of searches in Oct 2012
- #8 Some released data suggest otherwise – small sample set but worth noting that different markets yield different trends.
- #10 Penguin to fight spammy link practices, and Panda to fight spammy & week content. Overall a good thing for the internet, however in some cases, all it has yielded is slightly better and slightly longer content. Link practices have gotten better in general among companies that were taking low quality routes, however this is another situation where some cases have just seen slightly better version of bad link building practices. So, the fight against spam continues…
- #11 Oct 2011 – logged in Google users sent to encrypted searchJul 2012 – Firefox forces encrypted searchSep 2012 – Safari for iOS6 forces encrypted search, and shows up as direct traffic, not even as search trafficJan 2013 – Chrome will start forcing encrypted search30-40% of organic search keyword data lost for our clients, which skew towards small business. For tech-heavy audience as high as 50-60% (SearchEngineLand). 28% reported by RKG. 41% for B2B reported by Optify. All within past 6 months or so.
- #12 Major implications now: higher clicks and possibly higher rankings for content by real authors, with a following. That means that companies with public figures who are creating content will be rewarded.Major implications in the future:The use of Google+ as an identity platform, to identify authors with a following and rank their content higher.To identify brands with a following and rank their content higher.To increase your website’s authority by hosting high profile authors.To increase your personal authority by writing for high profile websites.Better spam detection
- #14 25% of clicks are for PPC, 75% for organic. PPC works and is highly measurable, which I envy, but even with unlimited budget, it can only capture 25% of potential search traffic.
- #15 Lower cost per click, slightly higher conversion rate, and similar click through rates, led to 68% higher ROI for tablets vs. PCs.
- #17 RKG methodology samples their own clients who they work with for each medium.
- #18 RKG methodology samples their own clients who they work with for each medium.
- #19 RKG methodology samples their own clients who they work with for each medium.
- #20 Napkin Labs analyzed fan engagement for more than 50 brand pages, including consumer electronics companies, retailers and more, with between 200,000 to 1 million fans each. The researcher found that having more likes doesn't necessarily mean having more engagement. In fact, the more Facebook fans a brand has, the lower the percentage of engaged fans tends to be. For example, brands with between 900,000 to 1 million fans had 60% less engagement than brands with 500,000-600,000 fans.
- #21 The Vizu survey was conducted in October 2012 by Digiday among more than 500 US digital marketing and media professionals.
- #30 Cisco report on mobile data consumption worldwide in 2012
- #31 RKG Q4 2012 report.
