Out of these, 97% uses it to search for products that they eventually end up buying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Email Optimization Importance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is estimated that over 55% of emails are now opened on a mobile device which means that email optimization for mobile devices is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Internet Users on Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is reported that over 70% of internet users are present on at least one social media platform, which means that a majority of users can in fact be reached through social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Social Media Importance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveys and studies carried out by experts in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stablx.com\/social-media-marketing\/\">Social Media Marketing<\/a>, like Hubspot and Social Media Examiner, reveals some satisfying statistics about online marketing. Results revealed that about 90% of marketers said that social media is important for their businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Social Media Marketer Social Media Usage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">66% of online marketers are using social media for approx 7 hours or more and 39% for 10 or more hours in a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6.

Search Engine, The Traffic Machine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search engines are the virtual highways through which the majority of internet traffic flows and finds its destinations. Based on the statistics, Google.com is the most visited website. (Source) with around 80% of searches being conducted through this search engine alone. And that is just Google alone. So if a website is not doing well in its relationship with search engines, it is literally missing out on the majority of the traffic found on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. Number of searches on Google<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of searches on Google per second is more than 40,000. There are 130 trillion indexed pages and this number is constantly growing. This shows how the reliance and dominance of search engine activity over other internet activities is growing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>9.

For mobile searches, Google\u2019s share is even larger, with over 90%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a survey conducted with SEO industry leaders, 94% of the participants shared that the title tag was the best place to insert keywords in order to pursue higher rankings on search engines But\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recent algorithm has changed everything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title tag has just became a part of on page SEO optimization and Backlinks has been a big factor in ranking a website higher on SERP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>10. Top 1000 Keywords aren&#8217;t enough<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top 100 and even the top 10,000 keywords actually account for not that big a percentage of search traffic. That simply mean that even if you could somehow dominate the top 1000 keywords on search engines, you would be losing out on about 90% of the total search traffic in play.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>11. Different Result for Mobile Mobile<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With about roughly 50% of the internet\u2019s traffic originating from mobile devices, Google rewards websites, which are designed to respond to the user\u2019s device and load themselves accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>12.

However, the only thing they had in common is the Google\u2019s supremacy over al the other search engines. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comscore.com\/Insights\/Rankings\/comScore-Releases-February-2016-US-Desktop-Search-Engine-Rankings\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">comScore<\/a> results for February 2016, approximately 64% of searches have been conducted through Google search engine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bing\u2019s share in the total number of searches is approximately 21%, followed by Yahoo! Searches, which represent 12% of the total number. Apart from this, other search engines also have a minor share in global searches, which includes Ask Network with approximately 1.6% of market share and AOL, Inc. with less than 1% of market share, based on the same report.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>13. Search Query Statistics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s market share on mobile devices is over 90%, followed by Yahoo! with approximately 5% and Bing with approximately 6% of the market share.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>14.
