A recent study showed that two-thirds of Google searches ended without a click. That’s not great news, or is it? Jim breaks down why this headline is misleading and how the study makes a major case for utilizing snippet optimization.

beeing on the snippets does not brings too much diffence.They still look and go away even you are on snippets.
But if Google was stopped or regulated what would happen with multiple search and multiple algorithms that we would have to figure out. Everyone would be jumping around trying to jockey for the best position on different sites and never grow because it takes time to grow. If I'm jumping around chasing position?? Be careful what you wish for.
Jump the queue. 🙂
In India when anyone cut the line we say, "oooo.. Dikhta nai line hai"
Basically, we curse out loud.
In the last 3 weeks, I must have watched over 30 hours of content on your channel. Interesting and brilliand videos. Thanks.
Amazing. I wish to have a house like yours. Loved it
We say they’re “cutting in” in the U.K. The queue is implied. What else are you going to be cutting into?
Hey jim, congrats on da move. I love Utah it's so pretty country side and amazing outdoor activities. My fav in winter is Dear Valley skiing is sooo beautiful.
I have seen double snippets a couple of times now 😯
Two thirds of my google searches are:
X feet in cm
X fahrenheit in celsius
X cups in grams
Stuff like that because many people on blogposts and youtube videos don't include both. 🤓
Jump the q
Hope the goat above the fireplace is going to go home.
Yeah cut the queue, or it's also often referred to as "pushing in"
Loved your findings Jim
You are exactly right about Google being Monopoly…I was wondering when you were going to say it….good for you….
What I find interesting..Google in the past sent your videos to me regularly…They don't send your videos to me at all anymore…hmmmm
Welcome to St. George!!! Great insights, I've seen my site go on and off those lists, and I've always wondered why.
Great video, that's encouraging. I apologize for going off-topic but felt someone here would have gone through this before. I have a website that is about 11 months old and a YouTube channel for it as well. My problem is that I've been getting harassed (email) by someone in Asia. I have a .com website and it seems like they are trying to convince me that they are selling all others available or getting me to buy them. I'm not sure if they are full of it to get me to buy them up, or should I be concerned about this damaging my website's name that may be brandable someday? My plan is to ignore it. Has anyone gone through this? I appreciate any feedback. Nice home, congrats.
Does google has any content of its own? It's scraping contents from other websites. Websites are allowing google to scrape their contents because the owners thought google wouldn't manipulate. But now things are changing.
This kind of feels like stealing on googles part, especially when you consider they profit from using your content
Where I am in the UK they say "Jump the queue". I have a question: I have a blog for years and I started to write answer target to win the snippet. How can I know when Google featured one of my article in a features snippet?
Completely agree with you about big tech. Some of it's scary with how much monopoly they have.
@Josh @incomeschool
You've data, thanks a ton. My question is.. how many searches in that sample space & how many websites you considered for the data collection. Lump-sump is also fine. Please, let me know 🙂
What is the sample size and the statistical significance of those results?
Great info as always! I'm from the UK (London) and us commoners would most probably say 'they pushed in' over 'they jumped the queue' haha.
Google is not being monopolistic with Bloggers, they're just serving their customers (the searchers) with the fastest, most accurate response to queries. If Bloggers want to get visitors, they can pay Google for it. Google pays a lot to get people to use Google and not Yahoo or Bing or any other search engine. Some of those companies (like Microsoft) are bigger and richer (Microsoft has more operating dollars) and older. Let's be honest 🙂
Jim,
Love the wide spacious house thing…..👍How is it you have just moved and yet already the rooms look organised and tidy, in fact that office seems identical to the previous….lol.
Great and useful information, looking forward to the “secret words” and yes here in tr UK we “jump the queue”
Congratulations on your new home 🙂
The correct Americanism is "cut in line", not "cut the line".
Jump the Queue.🤗
It is jump the queue. And re. monopoly? Agree 100%
Congratulations on moving to St George. Weather is great. Too hot in the summer. Lived in Hurricane for 16 years.
The impartial bait ultrastructurally drain because jaw phytochemically waste a a disillusioned space. serious, puffy honey
for a minute I thought you were going to talk about Google/Chrome killing off 3rd party cookies in 2021, I think that's an even bigger issue smaller bloggers should look out for as I bet ad revenue will take a steep dive, unless you have people logging into your site and have email data you can pair with these ID solutions for targeted advertising. I'd love to see you do a video on your thoughts on that! I think that issue in general would de-motivate anyone from starting a blog in this day and age!!!
My clicks jumped 110% this month (with a nice income jump too). I couldn't figure out why because my Google ranking for those pages didn't change. What changed was that Google chose to create snippets for several pages that I'd written answer targets for. Happy, happy, happy… I wouldn't have even known to look to see if I had the snippets if not for this video.
Fascinating stuff! Just got to keep grinding.
I wish you day a month plan for the project 24, I’d 100% join up then just can’t afford the full price right now things are hard atm!
My congrats)) Cool house. As usual useful info. Thanks a lot
Reminded me of Harry Potter, "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." Cue the awesome Harry Potter intro theme song! You guys are so AWESOME!!! Thank you for helping so many others to jump the queue in getting an edge on this industry! Keep it coming! God bless! -CEO Ben 😀
But even if we get our website as a Google snippet, how many clicks (CTR %) will come to our website?
Thanks for sharing such amazing content, snippets definitely give us an edge over the competition
Exactly, if I Google “how big is a wolf” I just want an answer. Not a 2000 word article with ads and links to Amazon.
JUMP the queue ………or CUT INTO THE QUEUE OR line
Are you going to be making an adaptation to the post recipe for multiple answer targets on the project 24 website? Everyone watching the video can obviously make changes on their own, I was just curious if the info on p24 would change?
