Great information on organic click through rates. Guido, most likely these numbers match Google's because Google powers AOLs search results. I would believe that the paid results would get a lower CTR by the very nature of it being paid. However, for commerce related searches like ipod or something, it may in fact yield a hire CTR because those paid listings are commerce related. If you are doing more of a research or informational search, my guess would be the organic listings would have a higher CTR but I have no hard data to prove any of this, Hi Jim.

I wonder if all search engines have similar numbers or if the numbers at google are totally different. Even more interesting would be to know how organic results compared to paid results would look like. It’s pretty interesting to know these facts.

As once you've used an "AOL search word" you are pretty much going to find that which has already been tagged for that word. I doubt that these numbers are representative of what happens on Ask, Google or Yahoo or MSN... and for that matter. As AOL isn't one of the top search engines/directories... how can you actually regard this info as anything more than just a little interesting? Just a thought. :) AOL is a little different from a lot of the other search engines.

Wonder what the difference is between 10 and 11 or 10 and 21. In theory they should have better click through rate for being on top of the page.
