Google Factoids: Speaking for the GOOG

January 29, 2016

I read “Why Advisors’ Google presence Is More Vital Than They Thing.” The article argues that consultants have to be on the first page of Google results when someone searches for one’s name; for example, “Stephen E Arnold.”

Duh.

In the write up are some unsubstantiated factoids. I love these chunks of information even if they could be woven from unicorn fur; for example:

  • 92 percent of people only go to the first page of Google results. (I thought the number was closer to 95 percent, but 92 percent is close enough for horse shoes.)
  • Google processes more than 40,000 search per second. The source is Internet Live Stats, and if anyone should know it would be this outfit. (What’s Google say? Exactly.)
  • Investors are using search engines as part of their due diligence process. (Be still my heart.)

For more gems, read the original.
