Editor's Notes
1.73 billion ***This slide builds in one part *** ***Click to add user numbers by region*** Don’t need me to tell you that internet is a global phenomenon. What do users do when they’re online? You know yourself – we communicate, email and chat – we want to be entertained (YouTube supreme example) – and we want to find information. And the way we find information is to search for it (recent data from econsultancy.com shows 80% of travellers use search engines to plan their trip). User numbers continue to increase strongly with significant further growth expected here in the Middle East, Asia and Africa too.
SPEAKER NOTES (Mar 07 data comparing Google’s share of search page views, as a percentage of total page views within the country. Share figures quoted exclude search page views from third parties in Google’s Search Network e.g. ask.co.uk. Greek data is from Q1/Q2 2006 surveys which included the question “ Which of the following is the search engine that you use the most?”)

Stats for Travel – NA Did you know the typical Travel advertiser has a lower CPA on content than on search? This means that on average, it costs less to acquire a customer on the content network than on Google search. This comes from an analysis of advertisers running both content and search campaigns with conversion tracking enabled. This statistic is based on all campaigns that run on content and is not split out between text-based and display-based campaigns. We understand that the majority of content campaigns are still heavy in text. Further, the median advertiser sees 20% of their total conversions come from content. This means that if the advertiser is only buying search with us, then they are missing out on a significant amount of potential business. And this additional conversions come from the content network, they’re not just additional conversions from search. So you not only get more conversions, you get them cheaper as well. Here are some reasons for this: 1). Users spend about 50% of their time online browsing content compared to roughly 5% on a search engine. 2). There’s a lot of content inventory out there, and in most cases it’s less competitive than search. That drives CPCs down, which makes conversions cheaper. 3). Smart Pricing helps drive down CPCs as well. 4). Optional tools, like Conversion Optimizer and Site Exclusions, can help.
