People who search by clicking the button on Google’s homepage are fifty percent more likely to go on to click an ad than people who search by any other Google means, according to online ad network Chitika. The study, which looked at just over 11 million impressions, shines a light on the possibility and importance of being able to predict web users’ activity.

When comparing the different types of traffic that come through their advertising network, the researchers at Chitika compared the different types of Google traffic – people who click on the “Google Search” button, people who search by hitting the enter key, people who search from browser toolbars, etc. While the overall clickthrough rate for the entire Google-searching sample was 0.95%, the people who searched by clicking on the search button at Google.com clicked ads at a 1.56% rate, over half again higher.

But the question becomes, why such a high disparity? Why are people who type in their query and hit enter so much less likely to click on an ad than someone who performs a search differently through the same website?

“Sophistication is my guess,” says Rand Fishkin, SEO guru and CEO of SEOMoz.org. ”Hitting enter means you’re not moving your hands away from the keyboard and likely indicates a more tech-savvy (and hence, click-sensitive) individual.”

So it appears that advertising click rates are inversely proportional to the “tech-savviness” of the people receiving the ads. By defining a user’s tech-savviness, it’s possible that ad networks going forward will be able to target better and better, driving revenue for websites while showing less ads.

When I first started out blogging I was constantly finding myself clueless as to what people where talking about. I had no idea what ROI, CPA, and PPC meant. What I really needed was a convenient dictionary of terms. However the only people who offered ones were packaging it with expensive “learn to make money online” programs. Since I was just beginning starting out in blogging and internet marketing I had no budget for their expensive items.

Recently I’ve written about image search optimization. Not too long ago I began to reap the benefits of tediously setting up images across all my sites a specific way. One day this week my site traffic spiked way up. I was pretty excited until I found out that 90 out of 100 of the new visitors were all visiting though google image search. They were all looking for one particular image on my server.

It happens to me from time to time. As I sit down and begin to write a blog post, I start to feel like this could be one of my best pieces of work yet. Then I am faced with a dilemma. Should I post this now, despite having very little readership, or should I wait and deliver this gem once my audience is bigger.

I’ve arrived at two different ways of thinking about this problem.

If I was to publish such great content now then it would attract more readers to my blog. Oppositely if I post it now and not many people see it, then it may become buried. After that point it will be much harder to resurrect it when I have more fans. It may even become lost forever. Which leaves me in a difficult position.

I have tried both methods with some measure of success and also with great failures.

I recently got an email from a reader.

“Great site you have. I am happy to send you a signed copy of my book “The Leap”. Just shoot me an email with an address.” -Rick

I was surprised that someone had noticed my little blog here, but even more surprised when a signed copy of his book “The Leap: How 3 Simple Changes can Propel Your Career from Good to Great” arrived in the mail not more than a few days later.

In his book Smith puts to rest the idea that entrepreneurship means taking great risks. He also talks about how the best ideas are contagious because they are big, selfless, and simple. Finally, before you are ready to make the leap you need to know who you and what motivates you by finding your Primary Color.
