Hello jonathankeeves
I have a little more time on my hand ,I will provide you a more thorough explanation .
One of the metrics that Google considers Highly to rank a page is CTR .
A website as often many pages however how many are indexed and well rank by google
Most agencies as none that are well ranked some others only one ,the ones that have more then one
Are normally more successful because they have more visibility and are seen are more relevant Keywords .
Mojo is one of those agencies that as more then one page indexed and well ranked ,even if they where not on the poll
That shows that there bulk of clients are not merbites but googleites !Lol
Hope it helps
Cheers
Booker
Hello Booker,
I come from a software background, so it is good to know the importance of high CTR now. I will like to share my experience as before joining merb I was one of those who used to rely on google search.
Now when I started looking for good agencies on google, the top ones which showed up were the agencies with probably good CTR. Why? Because of all the reasons that you mentioned. Like having good keywords on the website and lot of other stuff, not necessarily good performance, that also might be one of the reason I am not disagreeing.
Then I came to know about merb, joined merb. The agencies which showed up in google search were there and I read few reviews about girls who I had seen and I realized that the girls who i met from these agencies gave me a decent or sometimes good experience.
But I also came to know about other agencies which were rated as the top ones on Merb and never showed up while doing google search.. I started seeing girls from these agencies and came to know what I was missing out on
The people who search on google and visit the agencies with high CTR are not necessarily having an amazing experience. The thing is we don't know about these people at all. Here at merb, you get a bad experience, you can write about it and let other people know about your bad experience so they probably can avoid it.
Similar to google search, I would say, when an agency or an indy posts an ad in the agency or the indy section on merb, just from the number of views they get for their ad we can understand how many people are looking at their ad and also probably know how popular the agency is.
Also, XO which just won agency of the year probably doesn't have a high CTR, but just because of performance, Merb feedback and reviews, it could win agency of the year for last year. So, just being top in google search is not necessarily a big thing according to me. Each can have their own opinion.
Anyways, I will start a new poll today by adding the agencies which are not present in this poll.
